A great entry into the "Green Contest" with this green Parakeet amongst the green leaves and apples. I like your title as this indeed seems what he is 'thinking' as he looks towards you. A very clear and focused shot with great lighting. Well captured!

very apt subject for this contest and very clever to have not only a green parakeet but the vegetation appropriately green too..ideal for the subject matter

A very nice shot even if there are downsides to this species. I like the way you caught him eating the apple from the tree. The colors are great and it should be hard to beat this one in the contest.

Comment from Envision
This bird has such lovely colors and he sure is going at that fruit! I like that your angle shows how much of the apple that he has already devoured and that you caught him with some in his beak! Very cute.

thanks so much

Comment from Lorafina
This is very pretty. The colors are so fresh and warm. The vibrant magenta beak pulls the bird out from completely blending in with its surroundings. My favorite element is the roundness of its head, which mimics the very fit it is found eating. Such a beautiful bird but how sad that they are reeking havoc on the indigenous wildlife.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
A beautiful picture of this green Ring-necked Parakeet feasting on your Cox's Orange pippin Apples with out asking your permission first! It's plumage blending in with the foliage while it's red eyes & beak will give it away unless it moves first. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.
Susan
