This image breathes Florida to me. I saw this parrot walking this girl one morning on Anna Maria Island last month. I was allowed to take some head shots of the parrot, one of which I posted a few weeks ago. I then took this shot as the two walked down the beach...with the 400mm telephoto...

I added some mystical lighting and graphic edges from AutoFX software which I just got and my favorite watercolor treatment.

Shot on EOS 1D Mark II with 400 5.6L

Not quite enough nature as opposed to human for me Mike, but beautifully done. 8) :D

Sure, long lenses are nice...no one knows if I am aiming at a seagull or a parrot... :P

She was nice though...she let my son pet the parrot....

Whats interesting with your watercolour effects Mike, is that they are not over done. Some tend to bleed them too much if that makes sense. nice use M8t. The title is great BTW :D :wink: . That is one colourful parrot and this is a perspective shot Mike :wink:

All the best and nicely done.
