Nice composition. I wish the bird were in sharper focus.

I love the colors on the bird and the photo generally -- it looks to me like you shot through the cage to get to the bird, and having done that frequently at zoos, I know that's not all that easy to do. Good work!

Great picture. Only gripe is that the depth of field appears to be too close to the lense to ahve gotten the full effect. The bark is a little sharper than the parrot's head. Still, one of the better pictures in this challenge - 9

That's actually kinda sinister looking... Good colour choice, nice angle of shot and focus. Also nice to see something a little different. Fits topic well.

Hi there.

Interesting perspective on the challenge.

I think you really needed some blue to do well in this challenge, all of the high ranking shots had all three primary colors.

I think the main distraction is the lighting, looks like on camera flash, a bit too bright and harsh on the front bumper. Maybe a tripod with a longer exposure would have created better results.

Like the angle but there are a lot of distracting elements in the background that could be improved with a different one. I am sure you couldn't have moved the car so perhaps you did the best you could under the circumstances.

Overall pretty good shot, I bet the owner would like a copy :)

Very nice. Although I would maybe have had his eyes not so close to the border. They are the attention grabbers of the photo and it's a bit weird having to look so close to the border...
