Well, I hope this came out good, I had to clone out a person and some telephone wires. I found this pretty parrot at the beach with a nice lady. The birds name is George. He was waving his wing at me to say hello.

I assume you told George he was a "Pretty Bird!". This is bright and colorful and a really fun pic. I accidentally put it to full size a size too large for my monitor...and the resulting closeup of the parrot's head and wings is really really nice! If you feel like playing with this some more, you might try a closer crop to see what you think.

A parrot that wears suspenders that match its pants. Now I've seen everything. Good picture, too.

Great colors on this guy. Some "brush specks" still exist at the very top of the frame, and under the parrot's beak. Still, nice lighting and details here.

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
