Parrot at waterfall.

[Erithacus]

My intention of this photo is not for a photo contest. I want to show viewers that my parrot is enjoying herself at a waterfall. At the same time I want my picture to look good too. Is this composition fine for my purpose? Feedbacks will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.




Nikon D7000
50mm 1.8D
1/40s
f2.8
ISO400.

Seems like nice colours and seems sharp.

But I am very distracted with what's going on in the background - is that someone lying under the waterfall?

+1 to this. If you could edit that out, or even a landscape or square crop that leaves in the waterfall, but leaves out the dude in the waterfall, it would be much less distracting.

I like the guy in the background LOL

It adds interest to the photo. One of those quirky things that people will ask about. It just makes it stand out more? I don't know maybe I am the wrong one but I like it lol

Thanks for your replies. I wanted the dude in the background on purpose. In order not to be too much of a distraction, I used f2.8 to blur out the background. I am not sure if it looks good or not.
