A very colorful look on this little one. Like the pose and the twigs are just part of the scene, good focus and frame.

Rightly so , both twigs are there and form part of the Natural Environment and that is what Natural History images are all about, this is a great capture and he is positioned well, nice OOF'ed BG with good patterns forming. This is a great image. dave :)

Comment from jrconrad
I'm with you, too much cloning. They don't distract so why do it. Anyway, nice contrast between the colorful bird and the brown tree trunk. Cheers, JR.

nice capture of Lorikeet in hollow branch ( but I would darken the back ground to dark dark green or lighten it to the soft straw colour I think this would make your bird sing ) Focus subject tree branch & bird great colours .Thanks for sharing .Nice frame

Comment from Shmore
Great shot!
I like how blurred the background is; the bird is so colourful that is all the vivid hues the photograph needs.
Great composition; also excellent timing to capture ths 'pose'.
Love the texture of the bark and also to some extent on the bird's feathers.
To me the focus of the bird seems a bit soft.
Very nice work.
