The colors are fantastic, the interaction is great.

Spectacular colors and detail. Thanks for sharing.

Some of the details are quite hypnotizing, especially in the greens! Vivid explosion of colours, and the interaction is very good too. These two individuals seem legitimately happy with each other's company!

This one is all about the riot of colors!
Nice interaction that cannot help but bring a smile to one's face.
I like your crop but could also see this as a vertical with some off the RHS and more added to the bottom.
IQ and feather details and BG all topnotch!

How do you tell that they are juvies?

thanks everyone
Gail the right one has still a touch of black and pale orange on beak eye ring has not come in yet and still brown you can just tell in the photo it was still begging to parent

Hi Derek, a lovely tender moment here, and what striking colours these guys have. After your explaination to Gail, I can see the one on the right has a smaller head, and you are correct with the colours. Well captured.

Beautiful interaction captured, the colours are vivid and texture in feathers pronounced. Overall a very pleasing image. The difference in eye colour between the adult and juvenile is well illustrated.

Magnificent image. Wonderful colours with superfine details.

Regards,
Satish.

Very nice shot of the tender moment between adult and juvie Derek.
The colours look fabulous, as always for Rainbow Lories.
I would consider removing the flash catchlights.
Well done and TFS.

Stunning image Derek. Lovely details, colors, comp and poses. Agree with Akos about evicting the catchlights from flash. TFS
