Nice one Rod! I was just down there 2 days ago (in the fog) and saw one of them. (the one I saw was banded, though. I love the pose on this one. Always nice to get the back in on these guys. Nice perch, too!

Great bird. Sure colorful. There is something that bothers me about the colour and detail; especially in the yellow. I can't tell if it is sharpening or saturation. The OOF foliage on the left bisects the image and is a bit of a distraction. Like the frond as a perch. Nice image.
