Hi cc@t
What a poser! I think the front bird new that it was being photographed!
My eyes tend to get drawn away from the front bird and drawn to the ones at the top of the image, which I find a bit distracting. Did you take any with different DOF? I wonder if having the others in slightly sharper focus would help.
(please note that I am a rank amatuer/beginner and may be on the wrong track completely - just my thoughts for what they're worth :? )

Cheers

cc@t - I agree with Meercat - this is a wonderfully, cheeky looking bird but I would be inclined to clone out all of the other birds to make this little fella the focal point :D

I think that it need a bit of foreground to center the main subject vertically



maybe a tighter crop would do it..

other than that what a great image of a showoff.....

I never can get birds on the ground that sharp, What lens did you shoot this with?

Who gave that parrot a shiner?

Great capture, but I* agree that it could benefit from some cropping.

........nice capture of a great Australian native......but you could improve the image by cropping out the bird on the left hand side......
