    Default Look Mum, no hands.



    Captured this little Lorikeet in one of my fruit trees performing acrobatics for me, the only one of about 60 regular visitors who seems destined for a life in the Circus.

    Captured on a Canon 1D MKIII and EF 500 f/4L, 1/3200 Sec., f/4, ISO-1000, Pattern Metering, 0 step,

    Awesome pose!! Maybe a bit more room top and bottom and less on the sides. I see a cloning mark at the bottom left.

    Awesome capture. :)It seems a bit tight up top and I wish the head were just a bit sharper but I really like the colors of the bird and the unusual position you captured.

    No room to move as the bird just about filled the frame, worked on the eye to the best of my ability and lightened it a bit, PP is still not my strong suite:)

    does he have a missing toe?
    Yes, which may be why this bird spends so much time hanging and not balancing on the branches like the others.

    The only bird out of about 60 daily visitors that does everything upside down, when all the others are sitting on the branches, he is hanging upside down, a very amusing and friendly little bird.
