Same perch as last time, different angle, cut back a lot of folliage behind the perch.

On another note, the old folks found out about my lens and I've lived to tell the tale!

D70, 500F4 AFS IF-ED II, G1325 + Wimberley
ISO250, 1/400, F5, Manual, Centre Weighted

Repost:

Here is a reprocessed version with more canvas to the right. What do you guys think?

I really like this shot. The purple flowers in the background really complement the colourful subject.

Lovely shot.

I just feel the bird is a tad too close to the edge of the frame.

Yeah, had to compose it like that. How do you think I got him onto the branch?

They're funny sometimes they'll go there without a feeder. Had three there lastnight but the light was in the wrong spot with no feeder on teh branch.

I like it Darryl

Find it even more amazing you have hidden a 500/4 from your parents, that is no small lens

Kept in in the bag and had it locked

However they sort of guessed seeing as I had sold the 70-200VR and was stilling going out photographing birds.

I like both of the images. One of my favorite Raibow Lorikeet photos now.
