Oh yeah.. I think any blur is because it's so dark and my shutter speed is quite slow, plus I'm shooting on the fly.

thanks for the comments. . .
I took a s**tload of pics for citylife, some of which would probably have done better. However, I thought it was unusual enough to come across this guy with his cockatiel that I submitted this one. Actually, I think he was gay, and he was in the middle of being picked up by this other guy, when I, like a big lug, interrupted their courtship by taking their pictures. When he noticed me, I asked if it was OK, and he said sure. Of course immediately after I stopped shooting, the bird spread it's wings :P. I then showed both men the pics on the LCD, and they were both really excited and asked me a lot of questions. All in all, I enjoyed this challenge more than prolly any other :)

Nice composition. Landscape orientation is a good choice to bring out the background.

The lighting and excitement of this photo are really working for you, though the man's face seems slightly out of focus.

Nice lighting/color...

I like the atmosphere of this picture caused by the reflection of the neon lights on the guy and his parrot and the compostion is great. The way they look at each other shows how they like each other and you captured that moment very wel!

I love the colours and the little bit of blur on the bird's wing. The man looks a little bit self-conscious, but I like the way he's looking at the bird. Nice framing too.

good one

Great shot...he looks like his bird. I like the pinkish light being cast on the pair. 8

I really like the lighting on this photo... The blurred neons in the background are a nice touch and it almost looks like this subject is lit by some neons that are out of the frame. The blur on the bird's wing is just perfect for showing a little motion. Great shot! = 8 - jmsetzler

Love that wierd neon lighting, very cool, plus the motion of the parrots wings. Wow, I mean that! The colors in this are just toooo much.

Looks like you got a bit of motion blur, probably cause it was at night. his face looks kinda plastic. I like the colors though.

Great mood in this photo; interesting subject; the human models skin looks waxy,and the color casts, which I assume is from the fluoro lights, are unappealing-digital, or physical filters would help, or some color work in photoshop. Actually, the casts work on the bird, really, just not on the human. Great framing, and the expression on the human is wonderful-you've really caught his affection for the bird.

lol He's starting to look like his bird. Love the idea of this shot, just a bit out of focus but it's nice and the face is clear. Fun shot. Kee

nice color
06/24/2002 06:57:00 AM
Neat expression. Nice out of focus background. Did you ask the guy to take his picture, or are you just that sneaky? The colors are a little weird...that red spot on his face/neck/the bird is a bit distracting. But I like this one. I only have one major complaint. Where's the c***** j******??? ;-)
06/24/2002 05:24:00 AM
the guy is scary ;x

Great shot!! What's the back of his shirt look like?
