Very nice but unusual portrait.

Macaws are lovely birds, but the composition here is less than flattering for the subject! That might have been your intent, but it doesn't pop for me.

what a great crate image! i hope this doesn't get overlooked, and that you get some good comments and suggestions. i think (and this is just my opinion), that if you had cropped it a bit tighter, it would have been much, much stronger; the really blurry bars are a major distraction. i'm thinking 10% off the bottom, 25% off the top, and 25% off the right. try it, and i think you'll be surprised at just how much more it pops out at you...

good luck in this and all the challenges yet to come!

Thi sphoto does nothing for me. It looks a little to boring for my tast. It does however have good color and clarity but lacks subject or interest. Keep up the good work and good luck in 2005.

Maybe a really tight crop around the eye, which is the only interesting thing in the photo. Why include the bars and blurry beak?

Great perspective here - the darkness on the left is a little offputting, but I like your original approach.

Great focus...Shame the cage bars detract from the image, especially the ones closest to you. Great eye and depth on the birds face.

Difficult to shoot a Macaw in a cage.
