I started playing with macros, and my inquisitive parrot was always near the lens. Only croped a small amount out of the left hand side, the rest is as it were with no other editing done. Actually expected a bit of blur with the long exposure.

Yeah, this is my lowest score yet. I liked the photo. For me a parrot is an "everyday object" in our house. Tried to give it a "different perspective" by not just photographing the parrot, but to do it from a different view. Auw well. I do have a tendancy not to meet the challenge. Quess I will have to work on that. Thanks for all the comments.
Well, I am really sad because your picture got so low rate... I was one of your 10
What is wrong in the picture? Maybe a little too much light in the right but that also help to concentrate in the eye... I guess your picture was not understood by the 70 % of the voters (IQ in DPC is alarmly low).THE OBSERVER IS THE "EVERYDAY OBJECT" This is im my favourites photographs
I am really depress, many other good pictures got so few points: I am thinking to retire from DPC or be member and only participate in member challenges...
I guess that is the only filter we can apply... usually members have a better knowledge of photos and voting
I want to like your idea but have a bit of trouble doing so. There's not much meaning for me - nothing much in focus, a lot overexposed, and not an everyday object in my world.
The beak over-powers the focus on the eye, and the blown highlights of the upper left of the frame are too powerful to ignore IMO for this to score well.
that's a tough shot to take. talk about up close and personal. personally, i would prefer the focus on the beak with enough dof to keep the eye that sharp.
Beautiful shot of the pinfeathers around the eye. Too bad the forehead got blown out. Although we have an African Gray Parrot in our house I don't think everyone would consider them an everyday object.
