Boy, you really nailed the rules of the contest! Your take on the title is perfect.. and very funny!

The background you added is wonderful with all of the colors in the parrot mixed with a touch of pale green.

Amazing work.. I'll bet it's a winner too!

I'm going to have to create a contest that says.. "Annie can't enter!" for me to ever win another contest here on FAR,,.. (just kidding)

Just the most perfect fun play on a very popular idiom. Your post work is of course very well done but the idea and the image you started with is what makes this stellar. Great color, perfect textured background and fantastic subject.

Thanks for sharing and good luck!

I love the humour in this post, what a great idiom and matching image.

Your handling of post production is superb with great colour and texture of background that does not take away from the main star and adds to the overall beauty and gives it that professional look.

You caught the eye...perfect! He's looking at you and at us and we connect very quickly to the image and to the story.

Sharp, clear, very well contrasted and excellent post production skills noted.

Your various manipulations have certainly ended up producing a nice attractive image! The bird is well composed and you have captured a very unusual type of behaviour. The shot is well exposed and sharp. Fine work!

What a great entry into the contest and a great find. The coloring of the image is attractive to the eye and the focus on the bird sharp. Good composition and very clever to associate it with this idiom. :) Mary

I always save my 6 stars for just THAT ONE art piece where I cannot find a single dot or pixel wrong. This is a beautiful bird captured in what they love to do... reading the morning paper. :-0
