Comment from ELAINE'S PHOTOGRAPHS
Colors, details, clarity, POV and DOF are terrific here. I love how you can see your reflection in his eye. I may have tried to clone out those bars tho, other then that beautiful.

This is a cute parrot and very clear image showing every green fur of the bird. Well bird, looking into your eyes is great.

Oh, this is one very close=up shot :) And a great entry for the seeing green contest! Focus is pin sharp on the eye and beak.. The texture of the soft head and hard beak is very well captured.. I like the reflections on the bird's eye as well.. Good luck in the contest!

I love male eclectus parrots. This is one of my favorite species...so gentle and stunning. Good capture of the bird with excellent focus on the eye. The cage behind is a bid sad and since you have such a nice bokeh behind it I might have tried to clone it out. Overall very good job.

Thanks and I'm going to give the bars a go on photoshop, should be pretty straight forward, wish it occurred to me before I posted :-(
