 Well, I don't know if this kind of bird can talk, but that's what it would say if it could.

Polly might get one! I would have used a bit more DOF, but that's just me

Ultra sharp. Catchlights look like rows of flourescents. Was it taken in a pet store? Nice shot.

Funny title and cute bird. Have you read "The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill"? I recommend it. Like the sharp focus on this fellow's eye and beak and his gorgeous coloring.

What a cute bird! I like this portrait a lot. It would have been nice with a little deeper DOF, too. This bird is such a pretty color.

The depth of field works nicely in this shot. Strange reflection in the eye. Makes me wonder how you lit this.

Good focus on the eye and nice subtle colours. Shame about the bogey :)

Great job capturing the bird. Only detractor is that the bird is not all that interesting a subject (no offense). Very well done though.

Gorgeous color, and beautifully sharp. Like how you cropped it. Polly gets a ribbon from me.

A nice pet portrait ! I maybe would have appreciated less more definition and less out of focus.
