Great colors ! Alec .

Amazing colorful bird represented professionally.

Hi Alec,

this is the first time i am seeing your pictures. I am a budding photographer, thrilled by the sharpness of your image. however I focus my photos are lacking something. like to know the magic behind this. thanks.

This image demands attention. Beautiful color and detail.

:-)))

My goodness! Thanks you Howard, Spencer, Richard, Manoharan, Joan, Francesco, Chips, Paul, Vicki for coming by and your kind words. There are so many postings of Macaws that I didn't expect such good response. I'm glad you see something that also intrigues me in this image.

Probably the best macaw I've ever seen. Great job!

Absolutely GORGEOUS animal, photographed beautifully by you! I love how you caught the gradient of the colors in his (her?) feathers. That pose is great. Was this taken in a zoo? Was it a client's pet, or maybe your own? You did an awesome job of capturing the colors on such a nice smooth green and black background.

Thanks Ken, you have a nice one too in your portfolio. Laura if you read the details you'll see that it was shot at the Jurong Bird Park. A great place for photography as the birds are free to fly.

WOw~...~ yet another great capture...~ the colour simply pops out~ kudos! perhaps i should visit the jurong bird park one day after i have enough cash to get my tele lens~

 

for now...i shall just see and indulge in your shots haha~

slightly tweaked for your consideration. regards,

Excellent shot! The colors are amazing

Wonderful, Alec!!! colors, light and details are excellent!!

 

Cheers, allon.

Who should get the credit? God or Alec? Oscar goes to Alec.

what is not to love?

Beautiful portrait. As someone who owns a small parrot I can appreciate how difficult it is to get this bird to sit still and pose. Great composition and depth of field. I just passed thru Singapore, wish I would have gone to the Park.

Superb colours, Alec and the detail is excellent.

but I have to ask - to what extent did you post-process the image, especially on saturation (if any?).

 

Been admiring your portfolios for a long time now - they've been an inspiration to me. Gul

Tan Y B, you're too kind.

 

Pawel, thanks for your color rendition.

 

Adolfo, Allon, Gerry, Regina, appreciate your kind comments.

 

Yes Cathy, you should have gone to the Jurong Bird Park when you were in Singapore.

 

Sircar, you're simply too kind and Gul, actually the saturation is toned down slightly as the reds are too intense.

 

 

Beautiful creature! Great capture. Regards, Chris
