Description

Draw me with your eyes
Raise your feathers as a fan
Flirt like a coquette

What a sweet bird! This photographic portrait features an Australian red-tailed black cockatoo with its head turned over its back and its feathers puffed out. The blue in the feathers has been intensified to create a striking image.

I enjoyed photographing the Australian red-tailed black cockatoos at the Fort Worth zoo back when they used to have them. I managed to get this cool shot of one while it was preening. Using the Curves function in GIMP to adjust contrast and saturation really brought out the blue in the feathers.
