Hi KK,
On my monitor it seems that this very nice portrait needs a bit more color saturation and fill flash - do I urgently need to get a new monitor ?.. :roll:

Ofer,
The plumage of that bird I shot has a much muted color. May be just for this particular Macaw ... :wink: :lol:

Nice one KK. I would take a bit off left to eliminate the open space in the top left.
