Hello...

Preening Parrot. Comments/critiques appreciated.

Hmm. Seen it before. There are things I love about this; your image is well exposed and tack sharp and your subject is striking. But for this to be a great photo, your presentation of this familiar image had better be spot on, and the composition of this one just doesn't do it for me. I would suggest that you try to cut the dead space and (gasp) keep the rule of thirds in mind; here it might have helped to position the bird's eye on the upper left intersection. Hope I'm not stifling you. Good shot. DP

Thanks for the comments. I took your advice and recropped the shot. See what you think. Recropped image
