'Cherokee Girl in Silhouette and Soft Focus'
- Self-Portrait
- Please view Large view or it doesnt really have the same feel, Thank you!
This is me and my very best friend ‘Baby’. This is a self-portrait and very hard to achieve as I was shooting and working with an animal at the same time.
But after about 200 shots, I finally got the interaction between us captured, along with the pose I was going for. Thank you for looking!
Baby is an Indian Ringneck Parrot; 2 yrs old.*
Visit us on YouTube: babytheringneck. He… we talk a lot.

Ianphares, 6 months ago
I was looking through some RPA galleries and I came across yours. This is really beautiful. I bet it was really hard to get the focus, framing and the bird all right at the same time. Did you use a clicker or did you have to guesstimate when the camera was going to fire?
Kerry McFarland, 6 months ago
Really cool shot, and worth the time! You’re right, bigger is better, as you can see beautiful light details, that you’d otherwise miss with it so small.

I like the intimacy that the silohuette gives off, perfect over under eposure value; as through she beckons to the bird to fly out into the light with a message or something
Very Nice Image. ; O)
