    Default Scarlet Macaw (c)

    I captured this image at Gatorland in Orlando, Florida. When leaving, working my way to the exit I passed by two Macaws, a Scarlet and a Blue and Gold on perches for display. The perches were unattractive and the background was building walls. Working tight I was able to find an pleasing background and good shooting angle on this Scarlet Macaw. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Great subject for a portrait, and nicely composed. Good exposure on the reds and wonderful detail.

    Nice eye contact and great image detail. I might consider warming the image up a bit.

    Hey Joe - Beautiful portrait. As the others have said, you captured really nice details here, and the colors are great. I really like the BG colors behind this subject. Good job.

    Nice details here. I agree with Doug, you need to warm this up and I would brighten it a little as well.
