King Parrot in the Wild.

I was in Lamington NP in Australia NP and these parrots were everywhere in the trees right outside Oreilley's Lodge

Eager to Learn so ...All comments welcome! Composition? too contrasty?

[Kerry Perkins]

Hi Bob, I don't think this one is too contrasty at all - in fact I think you could add a dark vignette to make it even more dramatic. A slight head turn in your direction would have been super. Love the colors, exposure, and detail. Only wish the tail was not clipped.

[Joel Eade]

Composition is fine and contrast looks appropriate to me. If you were so inclined, I would consider removing the vine that extends from the bird's left shoulder.

The deep rich colors are beautiful Bob. What a great find.
