 had just got back from shooting insects when this sulphur crested cockatoo landed on my jacaranda tree .. i had the 90mm macro lens on the camera ..
didn't think it would let me get close enough to get a reasonable shot .. i edged towards it slowly taking photos but when i got too close it flew away ..:(

very pleasing to look at. has a kind of old movie feeling to it, but more detailed. I particularly like the chunky blur of the background. I also like flat but textured feathers. I say "flat" mostly because the torso is flat and the head does not "pop out." it creates a kind of desultory mood. the wings and tail are more separate from the body than the head is. I also like the dark detail of the beak. It's a nice gloomy atmospheric image.

The stunning white bird against the creamy dark background works really well as a photograph. Don appreciates stories. I'm hoping he finds one here.
