Congrats on your 2nd...

Highlights are blown and it is a little oof but hope he had the desired affect on his girl

Nice....Hope his girl got impressed by the stunt....

nice. It is nice and crisp but agree with mellanieb about blown but disagree about being out of focus--the subject is very focused.

nice catch. You might be able to lower the blown out elements by playing with curves and levels a little

thank u kyricom, never done it before, hope it has helped,

Hmm Impressive

Yes... this looks much better. Good luck

Mellanie, you can't focus in on something close up and far away at the same time. Of course the background is going to be OOF. It actually improved the focus on the main subject. I think you need to find your glasses.

Congrats for your second place, Smokebigbird!

Congrats!

thanks a big thank u to kyricom for his help in fixing this photo

Impressive structure .. must be a strong cocky ....

Lucky Sam, there's nothing quite like a brand new house.

Nice shot of a little project.

just how big is this bird...............!!

Great shot, well done. Being a cockatoo owner I know how strong the cages need to be!

I wanted one of those for my sons when they were younger

awesome

I have come to the conclusion that this is the best I've seen so far. Everybody check out the high res. I think it will be the deciding vote.

Great Close-Up!

congrats
