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!

I LOVE HER AND I WANT HER!

This is Chris's dream parrot.


Ok... now that that's out of the way. The one major flaw I'm seeing in all of the photos that I would really love to change is how hard it is to see her eyes. That's the one thing that's popping out at me in pretty much every picture I look at. But I don't really know anything about photography and how easy it would be to fix that, and I also know that their eyes are really hard to see in pretty much all photos just because of the color and form of their face.

I hope that was a helpful comment. =D I'm not used to critiquing visual art.


Even with the flaws, these are gorgeous photos.

LOL!!! She was a sweetheart--and gorgeous!!

I know--those black eyes are gorgeous--but so hard to see since her whole face is black!! I'll see if I can find some other pics where they stand out more--thanks for the feedback!!!
