 Well, since I was 10,000 miles away from my pet, I had to improvise. These are residents of the Singapore Bird Park. A must see if you're in the area.

IMO, This should have done better, I love the Bokeh, and the Detail in the greenwing macaws. Great Title. Congrats on the 6+ score.

They really look like they're posing for you! I suspect maybe they were. Very colorful and crisp - nicely composed.

I think a leaner shot that brings more the bodies in would have added a little more pop to this.
