Just looking (Grand Eclectus Parrots)

###

Beatiful bright colors...and attractive contrast...the subject is a bit blur than the background..

Actually, they are Eclectus Parrots. The male (green) looks like a Grand Eclectus, not sure which sub species the hen is, also a Grand? They are beautiful birds, I had a pair of Grands, they were kinda strange personality wise, as far as parrots go.

 

Nice photo, shot in the wild or a zoo?

Zul, Michael thanks for your correction on the species, yes the focus was unfortunately spot on the tree. Luckily the DOF is not very shallow. It's taken at the Singapore Bird Park and they roam free.

It's a pity the blue on the red parrot is a tiny bit blurred, but I like this couple, the colors, and the great tree they are on.

The two birds are a bit lost in the large green background behind them: this is too close to the colours of the right parrot, and attracts the eye.

 

Should you reframe this, you put the birds much more into attention and, funnily, they seem to be looking at something to the right, with the red commenting about it...

 

Remember that spot in Singapore: I got my only ever-decent bird pictures there...shall fish them back a day.

Hmmm...that's a great idea Salvatore. Looks good and I like the title. Funny, now the zoo animals are gawking at the tourists for a change. LOL!

Well, I agree with Salvator about the BG, But I think it is a bit too tightly cropped...

So here is my version.. very nice colors, and I like the tree behind them. Pnina

Thanks Pnina for your effort as well. Never knew the parrots create so much interest. Talking parrots? Doing it already. Heheheh!

i agree with the tighter crop. beautiful image and outstanding colours.

Perfecta luz y color, bello encuadre,, saludos cordiales Alec...6/6.

Beautiful colors! Interesting to think,

as I look at both of the parrots,

just what were they looking at?
