Critical focusing with macro lens.

Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.

Macaws are the largest parrots in the world -- the body of the scarlet macaw from beak to tail can be as long as 33 inches. This beautiful macaw has a creamy white, almost featherless face, with bright red plumage covering most of its body, wings and long tail. Brilliant blue and yellow feathers also adorn the lower wings. The bird's strong beak is adapted to breaking hard nuts found in the rainforest.

sorry to post these, but Getty liked the last one and I thought I would see if any others would do.

Strait from the camera...

Yes it was red... I didn't play with it in the Photoshop (except for the signature and frame..)

All I did was use a slow shutter speed (1/25), and used a bit high saturation on the Canon...

And it got blood red:)

90 "comments" has been erased.

Because;

-Invites without comments

-Award codes without comments

-And because of these I couldn't read the REAL comments in all that clutter,

especially due to the Flickrs New Page.

And I thank to every one who did write something,

really it made me happy to see so much..

Tramea onusta -- male

The other red dragons in our yard are much smaller and seldom fly high. This is the 1st adult male of the species I've ever been able to look down on.

View On Black

Red Kites love worms and a field being ploughed is a major draw for them. I managed to miss such an event a few years ago on one of those days when I decided not to take the camera. I wasn't missing this one as I stamped on the brakes and jumped out of the car, this time with the camera. Light not brilliant but I did my best.

Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!

Our Daily Challenge - Glass

Get Pushed: enveehaze gave me the following rolling challenge:

Hi Jonathan - I enjoyed looking thru your photos. You have some lovely images. I noticed you seem to focus on people. For your challenge, I would like you to focus on the inanimate instead. Please do a macro. Focus on the ordinary details of an object that make it extraordinary. I hope this is a fun and inspiring challenge for you! I look forward to seeing the result.

I've had similar challenges a few times now, some version of - take an abstract, closeup, no people shot - and it always gives me trouble. That's a good thing of course; it pushes me out of my comfort zone. So here is my attempt - I cheated a little but I also wouldn't have taken it this way without the push. So, as always, a learning experience.

For anybody interested, the challenge came from a Flickr group called Get Pushed, which you can find here: www.flickr.com/groups/getpushed/
