CommentI chose this image for best of 2021 competition as this captured a special moment in birds behaviour and their bright breeding colours both in the eye and as well as feathers.
Male bird in the image has motion blur where as the female bird is in focus. Out of all the shots I have taken, this image has linear symmetry with the birds and I liked the cup shape wings of the male lorikeet which are symmetrically spread over the female Lorikeet . On the back ground red gum tree trunk is complementing the colours of the birds . leaves of the gum tree was not distracting and the back ground is pleasingly blury
