A Rainbow Lorikeet feeding on a banksia.
A zoom lens would have been useful here to give the bird a bit more room but I do like the pose and the detail.
Is the bird too big in the frame?
Canon 50D, 400f/5.6L, 1/100s, f/5.6, ISO 400, Av mode, 0 EC, tripod + Mongoose head
full frame, minimal PP (levels, curves, sharpen)
This is one of those shots that is way too nice to delete but you keep looking at it and saying "I wish I could see the tail"!!
The perch is great, feather detail is great, head angle is great but...no tail.
What about cropping it to do a tight head shot?
