This is a sweet moment and you captured it beautifully. The blue background is right for this. Cockatiels can be most endearing birds, and many of them love to whistle tunes or talk.

This is a beautiful shot of this little guy. They look a lot like our birds called kingfishers. The kingfishers catch small fish to eat. I see someone has already said this : )

This is an eye catching image. The only tech detail that I see is that the window bars are visible thru the head in the shot. Putting the red can in an otherwise sepia image makes it stand out nicely.

Day 30 ~Farm~

Comment:
Good barns are relatively rare here in South Florida because most of them were pole sheds, and there is no reason to keep livestock indoors during the winter here. I enjoy seeing barn photos, and this one is a very classic shot.
Your border and processing are just the right touch to bring out the "winter" in the photo. It would have been nice to see the top of the tree on the left, but that would have made the barn smaller in the image, so you did the right thing.

December Sunrise

This is pretty nice. I like the way the sky looks when it has that peach colored horizon. Here, that usually happens at sunset on evenings when it is cold or going to be cold later in the night. This is a very relaxing shot.

Nice real life photo. You didn't post your camera settings, but it looks good for what I am guessing is a slow shutter speed existing light shot because the hand moved during exposure.
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays and lots of fun with your new Canon.

That old door has been opened a few times with this handle. You picked up on a small bite of the whole scene that many people would just use without ever thinking about how it looks. I wonder how long this has been exactly as you have it pictured here? This would be good in B&W too. Try converting it by turning the saturation all the way down, then move the color sliders and watch how different parts of the image begin to stand out, or to fade into the image.

Eagle

This is excellent! Thanks! You had the eagle looking directly at the lens for this shot, and it appears that you were not very far away. The light is very good on both sides of the face too.
Oh, and that is a right nice sky as well.

This is a winner. Now I want to go make a cup for myself.
Good luck with your new adventure. I think you will come out way ahead if you truly want to stick with it.
I agree with Melethia about getting rid of the warning label.

You got this at just the right time of evening to get the sky to look so nice. That's an awesome stone building. The autos are cool too.
