Rainbow lorikeets are a popular bird on the site, I guess because of their colour. Here I feel that their colour is oversaturated, or maybe that's because of the use of the flash. Nice colour, anyway.

Lovely colours and detail. There might have been just a touch too much fill-flash for my taste, though.

Two little caracters, sitting on a fence, which are very colorful and sweet. Very nice composition, and the textures of the feather are excellent.....

Wow these sure are bright! I think a slightly shallower DoF to further blur out the background would help a little here.

Great colour, maybe a little over saturated or over sharpened?

bright coloring makes the birds pop, but i think the composition could be cleaner.

The overall image is good, but the overly saturated colors need to be toned down a bit IMO.

WAY over saturated. It is a beautiful shot... really tremendous... but I think that saturating it that far may have turned some people off.

Aren't these birds just the best for bringing out colourful comments :)
Such naturally vibrant colours in a natural looking setting.

Cute birds and very colorful. The lighting looks a bit harsh and the colors seem oversaturated or too contrasty.
