Hi Tammster! You needed a small sword or dagger for him to check out while you were shooting this, to connect it to the challenge a little better.
Nice looking bird, and that's a good pose. The wrinkles in his face make it look like this was processed a little "hard", but they do look that way from some angles ,esp with flash.
My Jules says "Howdy, bird!"

Beautiful bird, but this, like the other parrot, need some context to be "piraty".

Good job capturing the fine details in the feathers and the personality of the bird in this shot.

Great and wonderful details and fabulous color on this pet portrait of this parrot. It is far above average in the technicals - color, details, and clarity. However, it needed that extra boost IN THE picture itself to have a strong connection to the pirate challenge. The connection you make to pirates is in the title and I am one who fully believes that a stronger composition would be "show, don't tell". One possibility would be showing the bird on a persons shoulder with a treat being held out to the bird with a hook 'hand; would have shown a stronger connection to pirates. The title should complement not carry the shot. As I stated earlier, this is a great animal portrait and would score well in a challenge so themed. Unfortunately, I cannot give this full marks for it fails to show a strong connection to the theme...but I will still rate it slighty above average.

Nice photo and I see that the title draws it into the category of Pirates, but I don't think this photo necessarily fits the subject.
