Portrait of Stitch (and now Leroy as well)

Just wanted to share a recent portrait of Stitch. Of course I am biased, but I think he is a very handsome parrot !

Great shot! I love his eye, and the reflection in it. He IS handsome! 
Please do post Leroy's portrait if he decides he would want one taken!

Thanks, both of you ! I am very happy with that shot, there's sooo much detail, especially when shown larger. It will probably make a great print.

He is GORGEOUS! I just want to kiss him and smell him... as handsome as he is, those 'Zons always smell so sweet, too.
Cml, I think this should be your new avatar, it's so awesome.

Thanks!
And here's Leroy. He really doesnt want his photo taken, it's much easier with Stitch

I need a 135mm prime. Preferable a f1.8. Parrot portraits would be a lot easier from across the room.

Probably yes, but a good 135/1.8 could be quite hard to come by though. Maybe a legacy lens?
Both my photos (and most of all photos I post here nowadays) are taken with a 35/1.8.
Before that it was a legacy 40/1.8.

Oh gosh! Awesome. I LOVE his little cheek feathers! And again, love the eye and the smooth reflection in it.
Have I mentioned that I really adore Leroy?
