Comment – there is posterization bands in the male photo (right side of sky). Bammesk (talk) 03:01, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The background has been blurred in that area, hence the posterization. Adding a bit of noise (no more than elsewhere in the background) would have gotten rid of that. --Janke | Talk 08:53, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Excellent photos, with strong EV. I'd note that these are very small and fast-moving parrots who are quite wary of humans (even the ones who live in suburbia scatter if anyone comes near them), so taking these photos would have been technically very challenging.

"technically very challenging" Nick-D? With a 840 mm lens? Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:41, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't used a lens of that size personally, but these are small nervy birds who blend in with their surrounds remarkably well, so yeah I think so. Nick-D (talk) 22:12, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support The resolutions vary a bit, but I'm not going to quibble about that. Both are strong images. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.5% of all FPs} 17:18, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
