beautiful lighting - Was it natural. Some would say the back and wing is too dark but I really think this works. Cropping out the left and top space leaving his head in the top left corner, I think, really brings the lighting effect to the fore even more.
Excellent colors on the bird. Suggestion: spot darken the light branch in upper left along with upper right ones and throw some lightening on bird to have it stand out against lower right background. Overall, well done. (editted comment - I now get the title!)
nice parrot (generic term, I know). lots of light and dark variation. .. can't decide if that adds to this shot or not. :) NG relevant, but mediocre in attention grabbing.
