Portrait of red ara macao

Taken in wild life center in Izmir. The lighting conditions are too bad, I had to use high iso and low shutter speed. Only could take a single one's portrait. The macao couple is in a covered airconditioned place and hiding under a wooden bridge's shade. It was impossible to take the shot of the couple with good focus. This time I could visit only a small portion of this big area. Next time I'll try to shut this parrots in open air places. (200mm, f4.8, 1/60, ISO 1600, handheld) Tanju

He certainly is a pretty boy then Tanju. Even under the difficult lighting conditions you've captured the details and colours extremely well.

A fine portrait of this patrrot - colour and detail are spot-on and the muted background sets it off very well.
