Bought a blue piece of poster board, got my make-shift studio set...after that...chased my parakeet all over the house...let him calm down..went out and found a branch lying on the ground...went back inside...got him on the branch and started snapping pics...
Cropped, resized, neat image, contrast, levels, hue and saturation...

This works for me.....Yes, and it deserves to be on the front page.....I love the "yellow" color of the bird, against the blue background.....
A "WOW" factor for sure.....
I love the color combinations, well chosen. The color is good as is the lighting. The composition is simple and very nice. I think the border is a bit too much yellow, a black border might have tied it all up better. There is an oddness to the focus.. it looks like the stick is well focused and parts of the parakeet as well, but others have a smudgy quality. Perhaps due to compression, not sure. A solid photo. 6.
Too much neat image/gaussian blur on the bird, seems to be a halo around it as well. My eye keeps getting drawn to the birds feet as they are in sharp focus. Not sure about the yellow border either. Composition is good and over all the shot has and interest that pulls the view in, with some minor changes I think you'll have a beautiful shot.
ooo, what a cutie pie! I live little parakeets, have two of them myself. Little girl her from the color on the bridge of her nose. She looks like a sweetheart. Nice colors, good DOF on the shot though around the eyes and beak looks just a touch soft. The crop or composition looks just a tad off as well, just slightly out of balance. But otherwise a beautiful shot of a wonderful bird. A 7
