There's a lot of vibrant color in this one. What a nice pose. I like the dof and that interesting flower behind as well. Polly looks like he is saying something. What a lovely find at a flower show, PJ.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought .
Thought is another name for fate.
Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.

PJ, this is a wonderful shot of a male Eclectus Parrot. I love the way you got such a clear photo of him, with the textured background. This is awesome!!!
A nice shot, good composition, but a little flash fill would do wonders to bring out the green of the bird's chest and make it stand out more against the colorful background. As always, your work is interesting. I never know what will next grab your eye!
