afternoon, pooper....

romeo is a lovely little cockatiel.....but, i don't think the "head shot" does him any justice....since he lives with you, there's always opportunity for a reshoot.....consider a portrait orientation with the whole bird in the frame....

it looks like you used your flash too.....which did a great job of dropping your background to black, but, unfortunately, overexposed your subject.....consider too stepping back a few feet ....or stepping down your flash exposure if your camera allows....if not, a piece or two of tissue in front of it might do the trick..........

i'd love to see more of him if you do decide on another session.....

With a little processing it looks to me you have the perfect avatar.

thanks peeper, this was my first pic taken with my first D. camera and just wanted to see where i stood. I'll continue to reshoot, but he doesn't exacting pose when he see the camera coming his way.
thanks for your words of wisdom.
