Excellent colors on the bird. Suggestion: spot darken the light branch in upper left along with upper right ones and throw some lightening on bird to have it stand out against lower right background. Overall, well done. (editted comment - I now get the title!)

nice parrot (generic term, I know). lots of light and dark variation. .. can't decide if that adds to this shot or not. :) NG relevant, but mediocre in attention grabbing.

This is a male "Lilac Crowned Amazon"
None the less, beautiful shot. Great depth of field, color and clarity on the subject.

Good composition and color! A slight bit over exposed above the eye? Good Job!

Great action shot of that kid! Too bad he's not coming towards you and you can't see his face. Wonderful catch though... Personally I don't think that the kid on the right needed to be in the photo, and I think you could have cropped substantially from the top, the bottom, and the right. I'm not keen on your title... but hey it's not a big deal to me... I just wish we could see that boy!

I love the positions of the boy and ball on the left. The boy's off the ground position shows action and is, besides, very graceful. Very nice timing on this. On the other hand, the positions of the Dad and the littlest kid are awkward, with the little one almost hidden by the Dad. Two other problems: the horizon is a bit tilted and the composition, with the large adult in the centre of the frame, is flawed, in my view.

I like the action you caught of the boy kicking the ball, great shot!
