Tucan Pete?

[jstuedle]

We raise parrots and have a lot of friends that are bird lovers. Here is a snapshot really of a friends Tucan named Pete. (not Sam ) Since the bird has a coal black body and such a colorfull head and body I thought it might look good like this:



It's a shame I had to shoot him in his cage, but he was not in a friendly mood.

Nikon D1X, 24-120mm AF-D zoom, ISO 800, available light. F/4 @ 1/20 sec. handheld

Thanks for looking.

1/20 s ... handheld. Wow! Good job!

When Pete is in a slightly less grumpy mood, I would love to see a picture of him out of his cage. He is gorgeous.
