Description
Did not expect the background to be black on this one.
As this shot was taken outside, And i waited till the sun was behind some clouds
because i did not want the white of the bird to be overexposed due
to the sun light shining on him.
Probably should of got a few with the sun out also.
Would really like to know your honest critiques of this shot.
I think to date this is my best bird shot.
Outside of resizing and very little sharpening & upping the color a bit.
this is what the photo looks like.
Oh and i edited out one small branch that came in from the left and into his neck area
that i did not like.

Actually I like the contrast with the dark background, which isn't black it's a dark green, and it looks beautiful. That's a handsome bird, great picture.

This shot is excellent, background is perfect dark green allowing the subject to stand out. Great compo, light, and DOF. Wonderfully done!

My Citron Cockatoo raised her crest at first glance at this image-- I guess that's a compliment ;)-- nice composition

Thanks all, I reworked it a bit took out the branch in the upper right and sharpened it some more as it seemed a little blured I guess due to the resizing and jpg format.

An excellent capture of this handsome guy. Beautiful composition. Love the way he stands out against the dark green background. Compliments!
