All About Colors

This is such a great photo! First of all, it's an extraordinary subject, which makes the photo more unique and appealing to look at in general. It brings up a happy, warm feeling, which may also be associated with the colors.

I think what makes this photo original are the vibrant colors, which contrast together very well and catch your eye immediately. The grey in the background also helps the foreground colors to pop out even more, if you know what I mean. It makes me wonder how you managed to capture a grey background, when I would normally picture this being taken in an outdoor, nature scene.

As for the composition, I feel you could've zoomed out just a tad and captured the rest of the beak, or more of the bird in general. The photo just feels a little too centered for my liking. Also, if you were looking for a totally grey background, perhaps the little plants/spots in the lower right corner could be edited out. That could just be me, though.

I also think the white right next to and around the eye is a little overexposed, and perhaps some of the feathers and whatnot in the back a little underexposed. I'm just not too sure about the lighting.

The focus is excellent though, and once again, you've captured a wonderful subject that catches the viewer's attention right away - good work!
