Description

Andrea, Knowing you are often looking for birds, I thought you might like to know that under all these feathers there is a bird! A Macaw who thought that preening himself was more important than posing for a picture for your birthday:-)

I like the way the feathers change color from base to tip, as if one feather had accidently got dipped into the next paint pot. This is a terrific view! Birds are feathers and feet as well as eyes and beaks. :)

What a marvellous plumage! They do have to spend a serious amount of time maintaining their feathers just to be healthy, so I'm glad I'm not a bird! Thankyou , Bill, for your wishes.

Fantastic colors, and a great capture of this colorful fellow, Bill! It's great even if he wasn't terribly cooperative.. So you gave Andrea the bird for her birthday, huh? Hehehehe :-P

only 4 full-views, and that's a shame because this thing SINGS full size. It's a beauty. This kind of closeup, excerpting from a whole being/entity, is more common in Tara's gallery, I think, though you've done a number of closeups in the last months; but boy, you have it down beautifully. A real blast of color and light, to see the macaw's head this close; and cropped for just the feathers. The reds and yellows couldn't have worked better if they tried, and the blue tips are great too. And it all billows out, then pulls in, leaving space on the left. (Nice use of background.) This is wonderful, and a fitting burst for Andrea, our resident muse. Happy Birthday Andrea, and many, many more!!! (And btw, the reason the macaw didn't pose for you wasn't that he was cleaning his feathers: It's that he doesn't like your ISO's, OR your---his words---"paltry use of desaturation". Macaws hate desaturation. They call Ansel Adams "a piker". Ya know, I thought that would be funny, but on second look, it's downright pitiful. The whole macaw-not-liking-your-ISO bit just fell on it's face. You can ignore this part.) A terrific closeup shot, Bill.
