I LOVE these birds. The Fresno zoo has them in an ordinary aviary walk-through cage covered with ivy, but the way the light is in the afternoon, it pours in through a gap near the roof and lights up their feathery heads and there's this dark background and augh. Gorgeous. It's like they did it just for photographers.

This is a wonderful image and I can't believe it didn't score even better than it did.

Textbook greeting card. Might have balanced the white a bit to reduce the grayish tone of the paper.

Comment by Teafran:
Simple and effective, a single thought expressed in a uncommon manner. Nothing technically amiss being crisp and sharp. The author's intent is clear and expressed effectively. Not as artistic as it could be, none the less it is a very good entry into the challenge - simple is sometimes the best approach. Well done.

You have excellent contrast in this shot, and I like the way the shapes echo each other as well. Good image, good score, and in a tough challenge too.
