I think a crisper outline might have made the picture even better. How do you think that could have been achieved?


thanks for your comment.
the "fuzzy" outline is a result of a very shalow DOF. yes. the f was 5.6 but i was really close to the bird and the shot was taken with a 500mm lens.
DOF determined by the f number + lens mm + distance from your subject. its not a fixed amount it changes...

Delightful colours and detail.

I guess slightly debatable whether this is more of a portrait of the parrots head than a shot about eyes - but a very nice shot.

The eye isn't prominent enough.

I think this could make the top 10 if the beak was a little sharper.
