This lovely image suggests a Gaugin painting, Neil, thanks. Did you texturize it in Photoshop? I view most ot your photos and this one looks a little different.
 
Mary,
Thanks.The light was a bit harsh ,casting some shadow, so I used Fill Flash which I don't usually use, which has brought out more of the color.particularly the blue.
Well spotted, Neil
 
I have tried to take a photo of the Rainbow Lorikeet many times and they have all been hopeless, I usually manage to only get a partial bird and even that not very clear so I congratulate you on this photograph.
