A beautiful bird that is shown in superb detail. Were it not for the mesh in the background the setting would appear very natural. I love his colors and the look in his eye. Best of luck in the contest.

Very good selection for the contest. The bright red color of the Parrot is in a nice contrast with the diffused background. The focus and composition is good. Good luck in the contest.

What a fabulous entry in this contest! I've never seen a red parrot and yours looks like he posed for you with pleasure. The focus on the head feathers and eye is superb, and I like being able to see his entire body, too.

This has to be in the top three in the contest. The parrot is stunning. The red feathers are so vibrant! I like the way you have used the entire frame to showcase him. Even his eye is red. Excellent work!
