Thanks James!

I think I prefer the term tinted to painted because in this case I havent used any paint ;-)

Some images I choose just to emphasize a part of the bird only, and in others I like to include some of the the other colors like the flowers in the New Holland Honeyeater shot. The Spinebill shot to me has a real old fashioned look to it, like something I would find in a grandmother's house.

In a couple of the images I went back and removed a distracting branch or foliage. Normally I post wildlife shots with not much post processing at all! In this case I was doing something arty anyway so I have forgiven myself ;-)
