The parrot just wanted to go on that side, I think a solution will have to be the painting that wall. -- MMYV http://www.mmyv.com |

Or use all known tricks to reduce the depth of field so that the wall is blurred out: get as close as possible to the parrot, and keep the parrot closer to the camera than to the wall. -- Bertrand |

The parrot just wanted to go on that side, I think a solution will have to be the painting that wall. Or learn how to take better pictures. That means not only learning the technical aspects of photography but the composition of a picture. You must also learn when it is not worth taking a picture at all. Anyone can point a camera, press a button and produce an image of some kind but very take a photograph worth taking in the first place. MC |

Bird is nice (only lacks a bit of color saturation, IMHO given the subject) Background is unaesthetic. Our milage varies. I like that wall. If I was around that wall I'd photograph it for the texture and use it when I wanted to drop one background and add in something with more character. What I don't like is that white mass of whatever in front of the parrot's feet. I would have moved that and shot from much lower than the parrot to eliminate the cage from the composition. Give the man credit, though. The focus is right and the feather detail is good. Maybe the eye doesn't show up right, but I don't know what this bird's eye is really like. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

I think the "white mass" looks like a section of a corncob with maize kernels. /Elote/ perhaps. Hominy. It's a known fact that birds suck up all the focus in their neighborhood with their amazing eyes. Sometimes you can't get enough focus back to represent the sucking bird effectively. It was always thus. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4128/...8ce8b4bd_b.jpg -- Frank ess |

If I was around that wall I'd photograph it for the texture and use it when I wanted to drop one background and add in something with more character. I agree with you about the wall. This wasn't taken in a portrait studio--it was in the real world where walls age and crack and the paint peels. It's called "character". What I don't like is that white mass of whatever in front of the parrot's feet. I would have moved that and shot from much lower than the parrot to eliminate the cage from the composition. It's a very short length of corn on the cob. Give the man credit, though. The focus is right and the feather detail is good. Maybe the eye doesn't show up right, but I don't know what this bird's eye is really like. The only thing I would change is a slight reduction in exposure or perhaps darkening a little in an editor. (Or it might be the settings of my monitor.) But I'm a sucker for birds, especially parrots and owls. I want to say that mmyv has shown slow but generally steady improvement in the pictures he posts.
