Pensive Parrot
Inquisite, friendly and a pet belonging to a local friend. The colour and pattern of the shed made an ideal foil for the splendid feathers of this fine bird.

Nice use of negative space. Like it a lot

Thanks Andy. I did give the composition as much thought as you can when dealing with rather noisy feathered friends. The pair belong to my hairdresser!! As do the roses!!
