This works for me.....Yes, and it deserves to be on the front page.....I love the "yellow" color of the bird, against the blue background.....
A "WOW" factor for sure.....

I love the color combinations, well chosen. The color is good as is the lighting. The composition is simple and very nice. I think the border is a bit too much yellow, a black border might have tied it all up better. There is an oddness to the focus.. it looks like the stick is well focused and parts of the parakeet as well, but others have a smudgy quality. Perhaps due to compression, not sure. A solid photo. 6.

Good bird picture. Not fond of the yellow border.

Too much neat image/gaussian blur on the bird, seems to be a halo around it as well. My eye keeps getting drawn to the birds feet as they are in sharp focus. Not sure about the yellow border either. Composition is good and over all the shot has and interest that pulls the view in, with some minor changes I think you'll have a beautiful shot.

ooo, what a cutie pie! I live little parakeets, have two of them myself. Little girl her from the color on the bridge of her nose. She looks like a sweetheart. Nice colors, good DOF on the shot though around the eyes and beak looks just a touch soft. The crop or composition looks just a tad off as well, just slightly out of balance. But otherwise a beautiful shot of a wonderful bird. A 7

We call these budgerigars - parakeets are completely different - much larger, with far more pronounced beaks and longer tails.

I'd like to have seen more/all of the bird in focus. Nice Capture!
