King Parrot in the Wild.
I was in Lamington NP in Australia NP and these parrots were everywhere in the trees right outside Oreilley's Lodge

200-400mm- Handheld with fill flash
1/60 sec at f5.6
ISO 200
Eager to Learn so ...All comments welcome! Composition? too contrasty?
Hi Bob, I don't think this one is too contrasty at all - in fact I think you could add a dark vignette to make it even more dramatic. A slight head turn in your direction would have been super. Love the colors, exposure, and detail. Only wish the tail was not clipped.

Composition is fine and contrast looks appropriate to me. If you were so inclined, I would consider removing the vine that extends from the bird's left shoulder.
The deep rich colors are beautiful Bob. What a great find.
