Another beautiful image....great details,pose,colors and bg!!!

I've never captured an image this beautiful. Thank you for resisting the tempatation to add more canvas to the left. With that skinny space in front of the bird to prop it up I feel like that stalk of grass on which it's perched is going to fall over; which was actually happening. Your placement in the frame conveys the tension of the heavy bird on the flimsy perch. Color, sharpness, BG...this photo has it all. Well done.

[Gerrie van Vuuren]

Lovely colours & I like the BG, pose & feather detail. Well done!

[Nagesh Mula]

Hi Kiran, another beautiful picture from you.
I dont mind the OOF plant on the BG as its giving a sense of habitat but yeah it would have been great if that was not there at all. Congrats!!

[Bill Foxworthy]

Beautiful capture. Love the wings and position of the bird. Great clarity and that red beak is stunning. A beauty Kiran

[Doug Brown]

Stunning image Kiran! Perfect wing position, great eye contact, and nice light.

[Andy Nguyen]

This is absolutely beautiful, Kiran. I like the wing position, flared tail feathers, lighting, color balance (the bird's plumage really goes with the BG), and composition. Only wish the main subject was placed higher in the frame. I feel that some of the negative space above the bird's head could be removed.

Kiran bhai
I am speechless brother. This is an exceptionally beautifully framed image. I don't care about the OOF vegetation at all. Part of the habitat. Probably would look TOO perfect if it weren't there? I love the light, wingspread and colors. Man! This ROCKS big time! :)

[Jay Gould]

Kiran Bhai, I wouldn't change anything! You have nailed it perfectly IMHO.

Since there is a discussion going on regarding HH big glass, was this HH or on a TP? Curious!

[Fabs Forns]

This is like a beautiful painting, great colors, pose, BG and perch. What's not to like????

[Daniel Belasco]

I like the diagonal.
Beautiful wings and color. Great perch also.
Perfect for me.

[Chris Kotze]

Beautiful colours and a super pose. Well captured

[Kiran Poonacha]

Thanks you all for your kind words and encouragement,

@ Jay Bhai, This was neither. I used my SUV as a Hide and used the Door as the rest.:D

[Dave Barnes]

Love the colours. Good IQ and great pose and comp. Well done Kiran.
We only see these guys in cages.:(

[Rob Drummond]

Superb Kiran - light, action and colour.

cheers
Rob

[Subharghya]

This is Perfect Kiran ... 100 on 100 :)

[Chris van Rooyen]

Great posture, nice action, perfect background, beautiful light....what more can I say? Only possible improvement for me would be if the OOF vegetation was not there, but that's a minor point.

[Stu Bowie]

Super comp Kiran, the the IQ in this is simply brilliant. Amazing colours, and well timed to capture her feeding behaviour. ( you are turning out some excellent work. Well done.)

[Dr.Pranay Rao Juvvadi]

Action with great behaviour and all the techs in perfect order, nothing much anyone can ask for. The best thing I like about this image is the parakeet actually plucking the seeds..... puts it over the top for me.

I am also very late commenting here but have to say this is another beauty, Kiran. I look forward to your next one, as always.

[Joerg Rockenberger]
