thanks for the comments. . . I took a s**tload of pics for citylife, some of which would probably have done better. However, I thought it was unusual enough to come across this guy with his cockatiel that I submitted this one. Actually, I think he was gay, and he was in the middle of being picked up by this other guy, when I, like a big lug, interrupted their courtship by taking their pictures. When he noticed me, I asked if it was OK, and he said sure. Of course immediately after I stopped shooting, the bird spread it's wings :P. I then showed both men the pics on the LCD, and they were both really excited and asked me a lot of questions. All in all, I enjoyed this challenge more than prolly any other :)
I like the atmosphere of this picture caused by the reflection of the neon lights on the guy and his parrot and the compostion is great. The way they look at each other shows how they like each other and you captured that moment very wel!
I love the colours and the little bit of blur on the bird's wing. The man looks a little bit self-conscious, but I like the way he's looking at the bird. Nice framing too.
I really like the lighting on this photo... The blurred neons in the background are a nice touch and it almost looks like this subject is lit by some neons that are out of the frame. The blur on the bird's wing is just perfect for showing a little motion. Great shot! = 8 - jmsetzler
Love that wierd neon lighting, very cool, plus the motion of the parrots wings. Wow, I mean that! The colors in this are just toooo much. Photo 10 City 10 total 10
Great mood in this photo; interesting subject; the human models skin looks waxy,and the color casts, which I assume is from the fluoro lights, are unappealing-digital, or physical filters would help, or some color work in photoshop. Actually, the casts work on the bird, really, just not on the human. Great framing, and the expression on the human is wonderful-you've really caught his affection for the bird.
Neat expression. Nice out of focus background. Did you ask the guy to take his picture, or are you just that sneaky? The colors are a little weird...that red spot on his face/neck/the bird is a bit distracting. But I like this one. I only have one major complaint. Where's the c***** j******??? ;-)
