sharath m on a gum tree October 22, 2021 Waited for a bunch of them to settle and this one was happy to model for me. Wildlife rainbow lorikeet Log in or register to post comments 2 Comments Chris Jablonski May 12, 2022 Such a simple scene, yet so gorgeous. Not many images of this familiar bird hold my attention. Somehow, you weave some magic, Sharath! I think it's something to do with your use of the muted natural tones around the lorrikeet, so it avoids the common shouty "wow, look at this dazzlingly-coloured bird!" cliché. Masterful composition and use of contrasting textures. Love it! 1 0 sharath m May 14, 2022 Chris Jablonski Thanks! - getting the shot needs a lot of luck and this is one of them. Those birds hardly stay still and it just happened to land on the gum tree. All I got was a few seconds. 0 0
