Description
There was a pair of these where I ate lunch in Copacabana, Bolivia. They were building a nest in a nearby patch of ivy, and the male wasn't afraid of me at all. Maybe they're used to tall sunburnt people pestering them with cameras.This wasn't getting too much attention, and I just realized why-- I forgot to convert to the sRGB color profile, which gave it a nasty green tinge, not to mention underexposing the image and leaching the color. But it's all better now

This is really nice. Very candid.
The one thing I might recommend would be a little re-leveling. The backlighting makes him a bit too dark, and you lose some definition, especially around his beak and eyes.
Apart from that, it's great. Framing, focus, both great.

It is. The light around his eye really helps.

Thanks for the tip, I actually was working with the levels, but I guess I missed out on the backlights still. I'll do that!

Gorgeous! The leaves really bring out the colors in our fair bird, and I don't think they clog the image. Bravo!
