Un perroquet très beau et très bien pris. J'aime la netteté du plumage et comme il sort de l'arrière-plan.

@Paco Díaz: Merci Paco. La grande netteté de la diapositive bien exposée est encore très efficace! C'est une "vieille" photo, je ne fais plus de diapo depuis 2005. Celle-ci date de 2004.

Lovely crisp shot Vincent.

What a wonderful blue . . and there is a gentleness to this image that comes only from film.

@Ronnie 2¢: Agreed, Ronnie. Film has a particular texture that digital hasn't. Digital, of course, is very convenient, but I'm somewhat still nostalgic about my colour slides. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!

Vincent what a gorgeous bird and the detail that you have photographed is amazing. Love his posture. The thumbnail did not do this picture justice. It is beautiful.

@Marion: Hello Marion. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate a lot! About thumbnails, it's frustrating, but there's nothing we can do about. It's usually a mess for vertical shots. If we could just drag the picture around ourselves in the horizontal thumbnail, it would be allright.

I think the bird is very well done but I'm afraid I don't really care for the border.

28 Jul 2008 8:08pm

@Darin: Hello Darin. Well, the border is actually trees that I couldn't just zoom thru (my zoom's not long enough). I did try to crop the frame, but I liked the original better. Thanks for your comment.

You really can tell the difference between film and digital, the colours and softness are wonderful!

@DaveB: We sure can tell the difference. Texture is quite different. Thanks for your kind words.

Quelle image renversante Vincent et oiseau de regard merveilleux. J'aime comment vous avez employé vingetting vous avez employé pour dessiner votre oeil directement au bel oiseau. L'acuité dans son oeil est étonnante. Une image fantastique !

@~Kylie~: Bonjour Kylie. Je suis étonné de voir que tu parles français! Merci pour le commentaire et les mots d'encouragement! Je n'ai pas utilisé de vignettage en tant que tel, il s'agit d'arbres tout simplement. Mon zoom n'était pas assez puissant pour éliminer l'avant-plan, mais je trouve que, finalement, ça donne un joli cadrage à l'ensemble. Merci encore pour ta visite.

Beautiful bird.
