Hello,

I took this picture during our last vacation in Dominican Republic. This Red-and-green Macaw was within the garden of our hotel (and free to go). I know that the white is OE but I like the way he held that twig, looking at us :-)

Have a nice day!

Go to my previous post to read informations about Red-and-green Macaw.

Hi Michel,
Excellent shot, I like the twig too, he looks a little mischevious :-) I don't think the OE white is very bad at all, there is still a lot of detail there. It's a lovely shot, beautiful vivid colours and perfect DOF, lovely natural background and excellent detail throughout. A great shot!
Best regards,
Adrian

Very nice portrait shot Michel, great sharpness and POV/DOF, well captured too. Great colours an very nice bg. This is an excellent compositon. Thank you for posting.

Hi Michael,
An excellent shot with good POV,sharpness and colours.I also appreciate the wording in your note" and free to go".After all macaws are the most abused birds in the world.God has given them such good colours and that is the tragedy.Nice to see a bird 'free to go"
Thanks and TFS

Michel, despite the little overexposure on the whites, the picture is very good.

It has a great pov and a great composition. Colors are vibrant and saturated; pose is great too, as well as the blurred background.

And how great it is to know the bird is "free to go".

Hi Michel

Excellent picture of the Macaw, lovely bright colours and like the composition with the piece of wood in his beak.

TFS Hilary

Delightful image, Michel.
The picture is very sharp and colorful and I see your point in finding the bird holding a twig fascinating.
TFS.

Hello Michel,
Vivid color and a well composed portrait.
Great BG, detail, POV, and the bird holding the dried palm leaf adds nicely :)
Well done and TFS!

Hi Michel,
Excellent picture. Great composition and pov. Nice posed from this macaw. Really lovely shot.
JC

Another superb work here! Look at that vivid beautiful colours! and the pose with the twig! He looks like get ready to write a letter with that twig, i'm sure there is a bottle of ink too! bg is great again, although you said that some overexpose parts on the bg, but i don't agree with you, they are not disturbing. Everything is great on this one too!
