Description

I've seen our cockatiel, Chester, do this many times and thought if I was lucky enough to capture it that it would make an interesting photo. Took many shots and about an hour's time, but here it is!! f/5.6, 1/4, tripod. Light: He is sitting on a perch under a table lamp.

Really interesting shot! I love the soft focus. He almost looks like a ballet dancer warming up. #352221
