Excellent shot Mary and I agree with Fay great focus on the head. Love his colours and the way he seems to be smiling

What a pretty boy! I like the reds against the greens. It must have taken sometime to get that pose.

Phil.

Thanks folks for your very positive comments. This bird was very noisy until he got moved to a bigger cage. I put some natural branches in there and he is quite content and much quieter. Still enjoys his fly around time and coming out for his bath though.

Got to agree with all of the above and suggest that a strong High pass sharping layer would give a different but maybe strong picture
