    Time to spread my wings and venture out of my comfort zone...the ETL.

    Rainbow lorikeet. Slight adjustments in ACR. PS Adjustments include toning down BG highlights and cleaning up the berries of the Cordyline. NR on BG and smart sharpened for posting.

    Such pretty colours, and I love the hanging pose. Neat perch, good BG (although I would have preferred the oof circles above less pronounced, still OK though). I'm liking the vertical presentation - in camera or cropped from horizontal?

    Thank you Daniel. Captured vertical in camera. Cropped slightly from the top.

    Very nice rework, Glennie! And that color is amazing. Having seen the first presentation, I think you did a very good job toning down the BG at the top!

    Hi Glennie, your comp works well, and I really like the 'hanging' pose looking into space. Overall, well exposed, striking colours, and sharp where it counts. Nice OOF BG too. Well captured.

    Lovely image Glennie,

    Such attractive, vibrant colours! Wonderful pose from the bird and some nice detail too, sharpness is there were it matters most. Thoughtful composition and a very pleasant BG. Those red berries are yummy
    Well seen and captured, this works so well, ticks all the boxes for me

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Glennie - A classic RL pose, such cheeky birds. I'm a fan of the trailing DOF and the cordyline berries make this one for me
