Went shooting in the National Park near my home this afternoon and luckily there was a family of King Parrots, a male, a female and a couple of juveniles, feeding on seed pods on a tree.
Sharpness was not an issue, but moire was. These feathers are so iridescent that it is really difficult to photograph and keep moire under control.
