the Alexandrine Parakeet..
...named after Alexander the Great, after he imported these beautiful birds from India to the rest of the world..!!

Canon 600D with Canon EF 55-250 mm lens, 1/640, F5.6, focal length 163mm
and from the lessons learnt here...this is a full frame..

Beautiful eye contact. What was the ISO ? Light seems a bit harsh and some details lost in the burn.

Lovely head turn and a nice caption.

Thanks for sharing

Lovely eye contact. You could have moved the camera a bit downwards, to reduce the space at the top and add a bit more space to the bottom. Thanks for sharing.

Agree with the previous comments. While shooting you should use the principle "shoot to the right" ie. the histogram should be towards the right but not touching the right frame. Then during processing you can pull the brightness down a bit. That will ensure low noise levels as well. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Rajan, Mrudul, Sabyasachi..
Thanks for the good tips...much appreciated to have these feedbacks...
...this was on shutter speed and Iso was on auto and generated 2000...
