Love the vibrancy of pair. I like that you kept both birds in the photo with the one in more focus than the other. Great color great job

The bird in the foreground is perfect and I like that you used a shallow DOF to keep the focus (no pun intended) on the lori in the foreground.

Great colors with good clear separation of the many colors without any "bleed" .

Great eye sharp and bright!

Nicely done my friend!

The beauty of nature is incredible. I like the way the light makes the leaves glisten in the background. You've framed the two birds very nicely. Thank you for posting this.

Beautiful birds, they look like twins with the same markings. wondering why you only focused on one of them though, would like to hear from you on that please. Nice shot though, thanks and hope you are doing well.

many thanks lynn.
as indicated, poor light conditions: had to work at largest aperture (4) of my macro lens, high iso, from close distance;
since the body of the first lori isn't sharp, even if I could close to 16 the second one woud still be blurred

Good focus on the bottom/front one. The lighting conditions not the best as the color seems a little too bright for these birds which wake me up regularly. Composition is good.

Good bird take. Both birds perched on a branch is a very good composition. I really like the contrasting colors of the birds.

The only aspect of the shot I would consider for improvement might be stopping down a little further in order to bring the background bird into better focus.

Nice capture ... B-)) Bob
