Palm Cockatoo

[smile_n_cuddle]

This is the rare and beautiful Palm Cockatoo. The photos aren't all complete (or perfect). Ahem, i didn't know that darker colored animals are very difficult to photograph until my wonderful photo-art mentor mentioned it to me tonight... lol. Anyway, feedback is sooo appreciated--anything to improve. I'm a perfectionist so I see a million things wrong with these photos... which flaws are most noticeable (or least forgiveable)? LOL

OH--her name is Moonlight. She's mentioned in this article: http://www.oldworldaviaries.com/text/lewis/palm.html (There's also a photo of her there.) She danced through the whole photo shoot and wanted kisses and cuddles in between pictures! LOL!

Wow 200+ pictures. No wonder you come out with a handful of really amazing ones to always share with us :-)

Thanks for asking for feedback. I miss my painting days so it's good practice for me to keep the eye sharp. Sometimes I'm way off base and it's good to stay well grounded.

I would utterly love to meet you someday. If we're ever down that way, I'll definately let you know. And likewise, if you're ever going to be up north, say S.C or anywere remotely near DE, let me know.
