[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Galah is one of the parrots, and is abundant throughout most of Australia.

Its habitat is mainly woodlands and open grassland. Its usually seen in pairs or in large family flocks.

The Galah feeds on the ground on seeds, grasses and fruit and can travel some distance for food, returning to their nest area to roost at night.

Breeds mainly from August to November, earlier in the northern parts of Australia.

Hi Liu! I do not have the time to write a decent comment. I give to you the well deserved smiley.

Hello Chi!
Wonderful action shot.3D effect,clear eyes and details,POV and composition are excellent.
TFS...:-)

Ow, ow, ow, I want to go back to Australia and see some parrots again ;-))
Great capture of this cutie galah, good colours and stop-action. Good DOF for the 6.3, I'm amazed that only the left wing tips seem to be slightly outside the DOF range.
How about showing a Major Mitchell next? ;-))

Excellent shot Chi, very good framed and nice colours.

Hi Chi

Wow... inpressive shot. Love the POV showing such good wing detail. Awesome clarity, sharpness and exposure., Well done. Thanks.

Hi Chi,
This is a superb shot. The colors are vivid, and the deaitl is very sharp. A great POV to be higher than the bird. This was a nice angle to shoot from.

Tout a fait parfaite cette photo, les couleurs de l'oiseau ressortes très bien sur ce fond de couleurs vert. La netteté et les détails dans le plumage sont excellent. L'éclairage et l'exposition ne pourrait être mieu.

Félicitations et merci pour l'envoie !

Excellent pov, dof and composition. I like sharpness and contrast too.

Hi Chi... I was introduced to the Galah through TN and have now become fond of them. Nice action shot capturing him in flight. And now I get to see the wings in full view. Just perfect! Thanks for sharing just a fabulous shot.
