This guy was reluctant at first but after about 20 minutes and a handful of peanuts he finally became comfortable enough to stay still for a few captures.

Very nice. Hard to get these guys to stay still. Good technique to capture these shots. Nice and colorful....love the patterns on their plummage.

You really captured the colours nicely here Rick. A touch of fill flash may have put a bit more sparkle in his eye. Still a couple of keepers.

Thanks Inthedeck, Reyno, Ian, Bill, Stephen and Gary for your comments and Kind words. And thanks Stephen for the fill flash suggestion. Very much appreciated.

A nice couple of shots. The blues are perfect. As for the catchlight(s) you could always selectively brighten them up during post-processing and keep the rest intact.
