wonderful colors image. #1454943Bill Houghton April 07, 2012
Howard, this is a real good shot of this Lorikeet. Great sharpness, color and detail. Excellent background too. Bill #10079535Howard A. Lawless April 07, 2012
Thank you Inge and Bill. My wife and I went into the feeding area and the lorikeets would fly down to feed on the nectar from the cup provided by the zoo for $2.00. It was worth the $2.00 for the joy my wife got from feeding the birds and for the great closeup shots that I got. #10079771Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
