They are noisy creatures, I know that well. But I like them for their wonderfully bright colours. Your image has some noise in it, and the colours are unfortunately washed out. A better composition might have been to wait until the birds were sitting on a branch that was unobstructed, so that your viewer can enjoy them without all the leaves in between. But thanks for showing me these lovely creatures again.

Thanks so much, unfortunately the tree is covered with foilage so there are no clear branches.

The shot seems just a bit grainy but the beautiful colours of the birds shines through! Your image is enjoyable, well composed, sharp and has good exposure. I have liked looking at it and reviewing it. Very nice photo, well done!

Soon cute! These exotic birds in their exotic world! A very colorful picture with a nice angle of framing of this little scene where two live creatures share the enchantment of their day. A very nice job! Thank you for sharing this picture with all of us on this site. Pictures like this one make one's day! ;)

They sure are very colorful and a very cute bird. Nice work to lighten the tree, but if you could use a noise filter on it and see what you think. Maybe it is mating season for then is while they are so loud.

Thanks very much, I am hoping to do a course on photoshop or get my daughter to teach me that way I can try your suggestions.

Comment from Faffy
Lovely subject matter. Picture is a bit grainy though. I would have like to see the bottom bird in full as well. But a good attempt overall - I like the contrast of the bright birds with the pale leaves. Nice try!

Mary, another great shot of your favourite alarm clocks. They are great subjects. This is a better composition than alarm clock no.1, colours are much brighter and I do like the light on the tree branches and leaves. Your software excursion worked well. I also think you were woken up a little later on the day. Excellent focus and DOF. I think you are paying them to pose. Well done.

Thanks Terry, must admit I was a bit slower getting moving this morning, I started packing for my weekend away then took camera outside :)

Comment from marieann green
Seems to be a purplish cast over the branches but i assume that this is natural. Lovely composition, colors and clarity.
