BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Winston 1
Winston 1
This new fellow in my life (not mine) is a 5 year old African Grey Congo.
He makes all sort of house noises,barks like a dog and has several phrases that he says.
His owner had given him a ju-jube treat!
cropped and sharpened.

This is just amazing, Gail. I must have been commenting on your silhouette when you posted this one because it wasn't here a second ago. This is probably going to get you MUCH more than an EP! The detail is awesome and the background a perfect blurr! You go, girl!

  Very cool shot Gail. These little guys are very appealing and you've make a perfect capture. It's so much more interesting when they are "doing" something. Nice composition also.

  The detail in the feathers is amazing Gail. For being mostly white/light colored you captured a good range of tones.

Well done.
