Rainbow Lorikeet

Christmas morning at my parents house a flock of rainbow lorikeets were eating fruit of my parents trees, this is the best of about 30 shots

shot with Canon eos 350D 70-200mm lens with 2x TC and Flash
/500th@f5.6 (INVALID EMAIL)
400mm at 100ISO approx 4 metres from subject
No photoshop done other than RAW-Jpeg Conversion and some minor cropping

Nicely posed and colorful capture. Well done Echo63.

nice colors .

made a mistake with the details for the shot above, misread the EXIF
it should be 207mm 400iso

here is another one taken about 5 mins later

first one is much better, the second is too blown out. Nice pose.

i thought the first one looks odd at that angle (and it doesnt look right sitting up either)
the second one is posed ok, just isnt exposed properly, im still learning to do this
thanks for the comments

What a most excellent looking bird..... Thanks for sharing.....Alex
