Made this image when the red-breasted parakeet is flying to his hole in the tree. :)

Great timing and beautiful bird. The BG looks a bit distracting and dark and I might clone out the stick above the head. I would love to see this species sometime.

I like it just the way it is

The bg gives this photo a sense of 3d that a clean bg would lack
I feel like i could walk right into the scene
Well Done

Super timing! I like the look of concentration in the bird's eye. For the most part, I like the BG for depth, but would consider doing something with the big leaf that merges with the bird's tail.

I'd also get rid of the one horizontal branch above the bird. It adds nothing IMO.

Beautiful image! I like it just the way it is too and agree that it has very nice depth to it.

Great timing and capture!
