I spent an hour at a local parrot nesting site in the middle of my town, next to a large shopping complex. We always have parrots nesting, small, large etc. All times of the year. It is one of the best sites known!
It was already late, I had no patience for tripod etc, so I shot handheld. 30D, 300/4 + 1.4x, ISO1000, f/5.6, 1/30th, this Rainbow Lorikeet was nesting in a hollow about 8 feet from the ground.
Just gave it some topaz. and a little crop. and NR, :D

Hi Akos, Very pretty bird! The filter accentuated the detail and color which made for a very pleasing image...

Ákos, I like this a lot!! The Topazed version looks like the bird is carved out of the same wood as the perch and then painted! Very cool...
