Description
My beautiful long suffering cockatiel, Dandy
Long suffering...because she just didn't understand WHY she had to stand still with a weird black thing making clicky sounds at her.
She would stay still for a while, then jump off and waddle over me, seeming to say "Can't you just PLEASE pet me instead? Come ON!"
I think its a nice portrait of her
Lol, I actually had to blur quite a lot, because some parts were so in focus, that with all the tiny feather strands in focus it looked pixelated, even though it wasn't.
I didn't really do any editing with this, even though it looks it. The lighting was just really cool. The sun was hitting just one certain spot, so I put her in it, and everything else was black in contrast.

How did you get that deep black background?

There was just a spot of sunlight, in which I placed Dandy. Everything else was a lot darker
So because my camera was forced to focus on only her, everything else was darkened even more than it already was...thus appearing black.
Thank you for the comment

I love these birds.
Great choice of background. The black makes the yellow so very vibrant.

Cutie )))) And a very good portrait!
I adore parrots (and almost all the birds ))) I've got a budgie who doesn't allow to take a picture of her only because camera is too shiny to sit still
