Hi Ian,
oh, I love Keas!
The colours are pleasing in your image and I like the pose, looks like a model....
It would be even better, if the background would be more blurred, by chosing a wider aperture.
And may be a bit more sharpening on the keas head.

The Kea is a good looking bird. I'm not crazy about the BG as it's distracting my attention from the Kea. Maybe a little head turn. I'd try to tone down the tops of the rocks as they are too "hot". I'd keep after these birds....a terrific opportunity with the aviary.
Thanks Rosl and Lana.
It's really neat that by posting pix to this forum you notice as do others more room for improvement.
I agree with your suggestions.
Rosl: Really like the puffin image on your homepage.
Cheers: Ian Mc
