Brown-hooded Parrot

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

I made this image of a relatively common bird last January during my photography workshop. In fact this is not a very common specie and especially when you think that they don't come to a bird feeder like in this case.
So that's why I like the fact that I use certain lodges where images like this are possible!

For this one I used

1D4
600f/4@f/6.3
ISO640
SS 1/200sec
Tripod
Fill flash
FF

Many thanks for looking.

Beautiful bird, nice BG, nice curvy perch & good use of fill flash! Well done. TFS.

[Loi Nguyen]

Lovely bird and image. You handled the fill flash very well, great colors and details. I would wish for a landscape comp though as I think the bird is a bit tight front and back. TFS. Loi

What for a colorful bird. I like the pose, details, perch and BG.

[arash_hazeghi]

Great colors, pose and details Juan. I think a horizontal will work better here

[Dvir Barkay]

Awesome shot, great colors and perch. Agree about the horizontal crop.

[Andy Shepherd]

Fantastic detail and sharpness on this one, Juan. The colours look great in that soft light and agree re the Horizontal comp.
