Double Yellow-headed Amazon Parrot Amazona ochrocephala oratrix

I posted this in EHK a while back but since it fits this week's motif I thought I would post it again.

This image is from 11 years ago when I was photographing pet birds for the pet bird magazines. This is Kay-Cee.

Nikon FA, 135/2, Studio lights
Velvia, f-stop and ss not recorded.
Cropped for web presentation as I would leave room all around for type.

Comments and critiques are always welcome. Thanks for looking.

Bill, awesome flash work. wish it had some color in the Bg but it does set the bird off nicely. Nice motif shot.

Very nice image Bill..... I kind of like the head position it makes the bird seem to be up to no good!!!!

Congratulations!!!
