The idea of this challenge, taking photos of animals, interested me but I also understood that it was going to be a challenge. It requires us to use all the informations and skills we have gained so far and put them to the test. I think what made this challenge different is that we were not in control of the subject.
This image shows the photo of my sister's pet, love bird. It is a peach-faced love bird and still very young. The bird is also uncontrollable, flying and acting as it pleases. This made it hard for me to capture a calm, still moment but the freedom allowed me to capture a moment true to natural behaviour. I find this photo is very interesting as it shows the bird doing one of her common expressions by tilting her head slightly. It makes her look as if she is curious or deep in thought. She is staring out the window almost with a feeling of wonder. The lighting and exposure of this picture turned out very clean and clear. I used a simple composition that was visually pleasing and got up as close as I could. The image was also improved with simple editing to correct and achieve balanced light and bring out he colours of the birds bright feathers. In the end I believe that this photo challenge was successful.
