respite

A very colourful image, but with too much negative space. I would consider removing some of the sky at the top and right side.... just my personal preference.

We have a parrot (identical to this) who visits us daily for a feed, here in Perth WA. We surmise that it has excaped from an avery as we believe it to be a native of India.

Best regards

A very nicely composed beautiful shot, Ranga!

Thanks for your suggestion, I also think this picture will look better in portrait mode.

Thanks for your attention and compliments

Great colours - but maybe a little too much sky. I think I would have gone for a closer crop, but that's just my taste!

Following on from the above comments, had this been my image, I probably would have cropped it along these lines.

I also added just a touch of sharpening, after the crop, to give a little definition in the dead tree.

Thanks a lot for your visits, comments and suggestions.

picture in the portrait mode rather than the square format.

I like the various crops, not sure which one best, but besides that it is a great capture!

I like the color contrasts between all elements! Well seen in all variations.

Nice capture, very well composed.

Hi Ranga,

I like it better in the portrait mode. I also appreciate the way you executed it - without light and shadows, but rather in a uniform way. What seems to be the sky, it appears to be a pleasant blue background on which a clearly define form of a parrot is displayed.

Thanks for your visit and comment.

I took the shot at 7.46 in the morning facing due west, with a low sun right behind me. lucky if simple lighting condition on a completely clear sky day.

blue skies are becoming rarer, with each year.

here is the 'unprocessed' file.

Ranga,

it still looks amazing! 

I think the sky is interesting with this artificial colour

Thanks a lot for your comments.

the sky is not artificial color, but just happened to be a clear day.
