Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 22 September 2008 in Animal & Insect.
Another few shots of these guys to be posted following a trawl through my archive and some post-processing; these were all taken in Edinburgh Zoo
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Nice one, it looks straight at you and appears to be quite a character.

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
I'm guessing the softness was intentional, and what a colour the bird has, lovely.

@Observing: Yep, I played with the vibrance and saturation to give it a different feel
Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
