I do actually wander around the house with this parrot on my head pretty frequently, which some people find ... odd. So I thought I'd try and capture that. Not as odd as it could have been if I could have gotten her to pose longer so I could put some fake bird output (yogurt) on my shirt, but she became impatient with the shoot and flew off. Darn tempermental models!
Light from the window and a couple of table lamps, camera on tripod and manual focus plus timer. Light came out flatter than I like and I should have worn face makeup to avoid the shine, but as I said, my model quit on me so I'm using the best shot I got.
PP - converted from RAW, rotated, cropped, levels, monochrome, increased contrast, added border, resized, sharpened with noise reduction.

The lighting on the (human) subject's face is too flat for this to work well in black and white (though the parrot comes out very well). But a fun shot!
