Challenge: Met the challenge perfectly, while still being very creative and clever.
Technique: The only thing I would suggest here is to not use the on-camera flash. It adds alot of "wash" to the image and causes a large shadow behind the bird. Simply by using high power lights, or even natural outdoor lighting (through a window), this image would have had much more depth and clarity.
Overall: A great idea that just needed some technical cleaning.
Neat shot! Too bad you had to flash this (shadows and glare). Color seems a little muted, but pretty good (esp. the wings of the parrot). Challenge met. 6 Swash
LOL!!! Great title - good expression on the bird - looks quite proud and concerned at the same time!! Lighting is a bit harsh/background not great, but I like the overall photo. 7
Good concept, but the flash is a little harsh on this. If the lighting in the room is bad, I would try shooting on a tripod without flash and brightening it if necessary afterwards
Lovely bird.... (I have a Congo Grey & a Pionus myself). As far as the photo, I would have chosen a plain background so as not to distract from your nice photo composition. Also, I might have tried to use more natural light instead of a flash (caused distracting shadows behing bird). Like the title for this shot!
Very creative, but you need to work on your lighting. Looks like an on camera flash with way too much glare. A side light or two her would have really cut the glare and brought out the colors.
the flash muddles the background some. does he/she pose for you? bit on the bright side. the feet are an interesting area. May be a good idea for something later
I love it. You're going to get hit about the background, but I still love it. Great focus, unique composition, nice execution, and one of a kind. It's well worth an 8.
