Very nice King Parrot.

Is your 500mm mirror lens manual focus ?

Cheers,
CD

.... Nikon mirror manual focus, all the parrot shots have been opened in camera raw only with no other PP or sharpen, just as shot.......

Hey Bernie - you spoilt bugger ;) Nice shots - my favourite would have to be the first.... what a little stunner !!!!
I have a question - in the third shot, is this what is referred to as 'donut' bokeh?
More please :)

.......'donut' bokeh...... this is why the 500mm mirror lens is called the donut lens....... happens when there are highlights or strong colours behind your subject.......
