20100911_10420 A Moment's Repose (Sat 11 Sep)

Sydney, NSW

This isn't the shot I set out to get, but I liked it more than the ones that I did. While in the park I noticed a pair of (what I believe to be) Rainbow Lorikeets feasting on the freshly sprouted leaves of a tree. In this shot, one of them had flown across to the adjacent tree and had decided to take a moment to soak up the morning sun.

(Although given that it's a 1/1000th of a second exposure, it's possible that I just caught him/her (oh, like you can tell the difference!) blinking. But I like my interpretation better.)

Now that' s much more colourful than any of our birds. And I like how the light catches those brilliant feathers.

Good capture, and vibrant colours in this wonderful bright sunny light.
