Monk Parakeet (Cotorra)

[Ramon M. Casares]

Hi everybody, I am very sorry that I can't participate as much as I'd like to, but I am going thru a rought time (nothing to worry about :)) and I am fully dedicated to these issues I have to take care of. But this past weekend I went out to the field with some friends and got the chance to photograph these wonderfull birds, they can be quite problematic but I like them despite that :)
Hope you like it.

Mark II 300mm f/4
tc1.4
1/1600Seg.
F8.0
+1/3
ISO 500

I have reduced the size a bit of the OOF parakeet as this one was actually closer to me than the other one.

Great symmetry, details and wing position. I might even go for a slightly tighter crop.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Yes Axel, for web use it could be tighter, but I am trying to leave as much room as I like even for web use as the comp really changes a lot :) Thanks though for you comment and suggestion!

Nicely synchronized green parrots. Excellent!
Does the green mean they are going to the St. Patrics parade.
The synchronization surely means this picture was taken before the
parade :D

Good luck with whatever problems you have.

Cheers, Ilija

really interesting image Ramon, I like it a lot. I know about the tough times, and haven't shot a frame for 3 weeks until this past weekend, hope all is well.

Stunning capture and the pose is priceless Ramon. We used to have one of these little characters as a pet for several years but they are definitely a one person bird . Love the moment captured in this image Ramon and many thanks for sharing. Love it !!!
