CommentI like the feeling of serenity this photo portrays to me. The parrot was completely relaxed and not at all concerned with my close proximity. This allowed me to use a very slow shutter speed and low ISO. I think the subtle reds and greens in the leaves complement the beautiful reds and greens of the parrot. Soft light after a welcome spring shower allowed my Canon camera to catch the reds without them “blowing out”.
EquipmentCanon 7D Mark II with Sigma 150 – 500mm lens at 370mm, 1/80 sec, f6.3, ISO 250.
