A pair of Rainbow Lorikeets bonding/preening while sheltering from

the rain. Taken at my home in Sydney, Australia. Any and all

comments or suggestions appreciated.

Marvellous shot! The sharpness, thr rich color, the pose, all work well. I guess you can get rid of the lower left corner diturbing object with Capture NX2's wonderful eraser tool!

Thank you Apurva, for your kind words and for your very good suggestion. This shot was taken back when I new almost nothing about post processing. Now I think I have learnt enough to make another attempt along the lines you have suggested. Thanks, Mike.

The bottom left and top right framing is appealing. The closed eyes on one of the birds is really cute - sure looks like love. Surprised at the many low scores on this one - I guess we have a different view of what constitutes a 'good' image.

Wouldn't it be nice if we all could feel as 'content and loved' as these 2 appear to be. One of the greatest aspects of 'nature' that I appreciate, is the species that mate for life....dedicated to each other....love your attention to detail and colors in this one, even if it is an older shot. Sometimes they have much to offer. Great image Mike. Cheeers, Gail
