Default DPS withdrawl

Hello DPS friends, I've not been able to visit in quite a few days and have missed viewing the sys posts and really had the urge to share one of mine.

a Parrot shot in bright sunlight.. a light HDR process ( just playing with feather details)

Polly

Steve thought it needed a Quote !

He's not pining he's passed on, this parrot is no more, he has ceased to be, he's expired and gone to meet his maker.
He's a stiff, bereft of life, he rests in peace if you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies.
His metabolic processes are now history he's off the twig, he's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile
This is an ex parrot
How could I miss the opportunity


it's great to be sitting here... and now I got some of your recent photos to check out,

Vin

I know how you feel. Withdrawals here also. I have been in and out but not on a regular basis. Busy with family life, now that school is in session again. Trying to find time to shoot and share more often. I love this parrot. His colors are so vivid and your focus so clear. Lovely shot!

Great details in the feathers, Vin, and the colours are also very nice. I always look forward to seeing what you come up with.
