They're certainly a popular bird for photographers. It's such a joy (when living in Australia) to have the wild ones come into your garden.
Well done on your new personal best.
Beautiful! Two things though. One, I would've cropped this a little tighter, as I think there's too much open space at the top of the image. Two, the blurry object in the lower left corner is a little distracting, although that may have been unavoidable. Good job.
I'm not a bird person but the focus is spot on. I love that the background has a rainbow effect as well. My only complaint is the blur of the front bokeh - probably part of the tree upon which he is resting. 7
