These were taken with DA* 50-135. I am amazed at the colors of these brids, simply stunning and hopefully I captured a bit of that.

It is probably just my screen, but some look a bit blown out, maybe the light was a bit harsh. Else great captures, and the fifth one is a lot of fun

I would say they look good anyhow. I was watching from a new screen, which isn’t calibrated. Seeing them again now, they are really great colours and captures

Izzy · 03-18-2009, 04:36 AM

Wonderful Macaw shots! I really enjoyed getting to see these.

**Scottnorwo** · 03-18-2009, 04:48 AM

Great shots, very colorful. I do like the first and last photos. Did you get to do anything else besides take pictures on that vacation of yours? The photos just keep on coming. again great shots
