Wonderful composition,vivid colors,good DOF and BG.
Well done!TFS...

It's so nice to see the parrots in the wild. We have only two species and they can be found only in the most Nothern parts of SA. Its an intersting subject and well presented. The focus on the head a bit soft. Nice shot. Well done.
