I love parrots of all kinds. As I was snapping photos of the Macaws, they began showing affection to each other by hugging.Editing
Added very little light. This image needed no editing.In my camera bag
Nikon D3000, Nikon D3200, 18-55 lens, 55-200 lens, macro lenses, spare batteries and SD cards.Feedback
I have found that I capture my best images on partially cloudy days. The colors tend to stand out better and be more realistic when the sun is barely peeking out behind the clouds.
