 Originally, I had a shot of two macaws on a branch. Then I saw "the picture in the picture" and cropped it to get this close up. Just slightly adjusted the hues to bring out the reds more and sharpened. I thought this closeup made a stronger photo.

This picture seems a little grainy to me, but that might be the point. Pretty bird, looks like he is eyeing that camera though.
