hi Chien....
thanks for your comment.... however, i have more question arising... please bare with me.
FYI, the photo was shot tight, and it's straight of the camera, at least 99% of it coz i crop it to the exact factor of 4 in X 6 in.... well, just to say that it was shot that way. Not much I can do about it now, only way is for me to go back and shoot again.... but hey, thanks for your comment. Tight shots don't always work....

I agree about some breathing space particularly on the beak side... yes, that need more practice. I shall remember to leave more space to it....

hehe... do bare with me a little, i'll go back and shoot again, soon I hope.
The Chien, about the stopping down and the proximity to the subject and the DOF thing.... would you please explain a bit further... ? Errrr..... I can't figure it out exactly lar...

Pardon me for my stupidity ya....
Thanks very very much Chien... I'm totally noob / new to this birding thing... my mind was thinking about using the parrot as my subject and treat it like shooting portrait...

Cheers Chien

Regards.
