This is fantastic, not only did you somehow get the Rosella to stay still you captured the colours of it and the bottlebrush marvelously. Well done again Robert.

Oh man, if there were a contest based on color, this would win hands down! Just a fabulously and gloriously colorful shot of a terrific bird, most interesting flowers and with such great clarity.

Now, Mr Trisbert, Robert type, is this little birdie for REAL? My gosh, it appears that someone threw a paint palette at him. I had to go back and look for the word "Manipulation" but it wasn't there. Mercy sakes. What a bird, and what a capture.

Exceptional !! A wonderful shot. I think the saturation is perfect - very true to life.
I have a bottlebrush tree, just as vibrant - I would love to have the bird to go with it. Mine is late flowering - supposed to be the sign of a poor summer, or is it a good summer. I can not remember.

Yikes! This is almost blinding, but ultra gorgeous! Robert, you've done it again - wonderful composition, clearness and depth. So many vibrant colours on this bird. The divine colour of the bottlebrush flowers is the perfect place for this bird to be - beauty upon beauty. Kudos on this marvelous view :*>

You do have some very colorful birds in your geographical area Robert! I love birds and have feeding stations on my deck, but to have something this vivid and boldly colored, well, it just amazes me. I am sure that this feathered friend of yours is tropical in nature. If you should see him again :), tell him I said "thanks" for posing so that I can drink in all of the beauty. Very well done and thank you for sharing this with me ;=)
