Great composition coupled with super lighting make this image a true winner. The textures in the bark and feathers are great as well - with the small patches of moss/lichen adding some additional impact. Finally the model has a nice look of "curiousity." Well done indeed.

Awww! What a beautiful photograph. I have a cockatiel and he never sits still long enough to take a decent photograph of him! The colours and focus on this are absolutely stunning, and the composition itself is fantastic. Nice job!

Comment by Artifacts:
The cockatiel is exceptionally well focused and it is a nice pose. The tree, however, seems just a little harsh and "digital". I'd recommend selecting the branch only and apply a little gaussian blur to soften the branch up a little. That would also draw the viewer away from it and toward the main subject more. In any regard this is one of the best images in the challenge.

This shot looks a little bit pixelated (compression)...but other wise it is a strong image.
