Although this worked out very nicely in black and white, I do like the color version just a tad better. The yellows along it's face are really nice! This shot should have placed better! It's wonderful!
Great framing, I love the claw/talon (I lack the proper terminology) at the bottom. Excelent shot. Lighting might have been better without the two stripes, but it's easily overlooked. 8
mm what is that? coconut ? great bird macro . , i bet they have very expressive personalities. #1 tip that really makes a captivating portrait: try to get a good highlight in the eyes
The bright light/shadow combination on the bird bothers me a bit. Otherwise, I think the shot is very nice. The background is not distracting, the focus and clarity are good, and the angle and framing/cropping are good as well. I like the detail you show us in the beak. Since I started my job a couple weeks ago, I have gotten the pleasure of working with a couple of these, and they are really fun to work with. Quite friendly, but don't make them mad!! Good luck in the challenge.
Good job of keeping all the detail in a difficult subject. Just a couple of small washed out areas on top of the head. Great detail on the beak and the bread. 8
Blown out in the two strips of light across the head, but otherwise a great shot. The detail on the beak and feathers is fantastic. Good composition and a good job 'losing' the background too. Well done.
I think I've seen this guy before and he's still georgeous. I especially love how well you photographed his beak and feet. The detail is awesome. I can almost smell the bread he is eating, too. This is a definite 10. PTL
