 This is our little parrot, well parrotlet. He is the smallest breed of parrot measuring at about 5 inches in length. He was very hard to photograph cause he keept trying to bite my lens. I liked this one though, I thought the lighting was nice.

What a cutie pie. Photo looks too dark and a bit flat. Try lightening and bumping up the contrast. Focus is also somewhat soft. Good luck!

You have prollybeen savaged by the no brains on this image but I think it works extremely well. A domestic bird is supposed to be photograhed in its own enviroment and the lighting and colours are well done , bumping to a 9

I don't care for the red background, it overwhelms the shot

Nicely done, but underlit. Need just a tad more light to bring out more detail in the bird.

I like the red background. Lighting is low and I like the highlight on his left foot.

lighting is weak and the bird has a bit of an odd coloring.
