Another picture of the parrot at Longleat. Did nothing but squawk a lot and show off! 70mm, f/4 at 1/1000. Lighting wasn't great so I needed the lens wide open to get the low shutter speed necessary to get the capture razor sharp.

Very striking image. Crystal clear. It clearly shows the character and intelligence of these birds. Wonderful stuff. :)

Great capture, lovely clarity and colours. It certainly does show off the character of these birds, never seen a parrot catching hangtime before:)

Cheers........

haha... this is a playful one. Very good capture, very good detail & i love the "hanging" part. Really an excelent shot. Great work, Paul.

Beauty is no quality in things themselves. It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them, and each mind perceives a different beauty.
