Hi Paulo,
This Hyacinth Macaw is sooo beautiful. I'm a big fan of birds, especially parrots and cockatoos.
The rich blue and yellow colours in this bird are incredible and contrast so well with the soft colours in the background. I love the macaw's pose and it looks like it is smiling :)) Well captured!

Paulo, como se não bastassem o colorido e a exuberância dessas aves, elas parecem estar sempre sorrindo - o que é ótimo.

Gosto muito da foto. Bela composição e nitidez.

No Photoshop, ao selecionar o pássaro para modificar o fundo, use Select > Feather. Isso vai fazer com que não se fique com a impressão de que o objeto principal tenha sido "colado" sobre o fundo - ainda que de fato ele tenha sido.

Very beautiful portrait. The colours of the Macaw are stunning and those of the BG are too. Great details, position of the head etc.

Magnificent bird, Paulo!

Amazing colors, eye contact, POV, BG and lighting, in this well composed and interesting photo.

Is it my imagination . . . can he be smiling?

Well done and thank you.
