Red

I like the expressionin the eyes better

Green.

Much more vibrant photograph. Nicer pose and a better composition. Really like that one.

I would have to go for red on this one. It seems more natural to me (meaning, coming from its natural environment). However, I like the birds head in the green shot.

[armando_m]

Thanks for the comments, I do prefer the red one too, even if the green one has very nice clarity/sharpness

[draymorton]

Green.......

I like the pose of the scarlet macaw, but I would liked the wing to have been more in focus. I suspect available light had a bit to do with aperture here but its still a very nice shot . The second bird reminds me of someone that has been caught in the act of doing something they shouldn't......

[armando_m]

Thanks!

The green bird stayed put as long as was shooting, the red one was moving all the time towards me, most have thought I had food

I like the green one. There is something in that photo that stirs my brain...I think its the expression, they eye. I want to put captions of all sorts to that bird, haha. They are both great photos, wow! The green one though, I'd put that on a wall!

[Frog]

red or green? Its sort of like comparing apples or oranges isn't it?

I'm going to decide.....mmmmmm? YES

[armando_m]

how is it said ?

it is a retoric question

or just the title of the thread

Thanks Frog

Armando - I prefer the top red parrot. They are both good but perhaps it's because that image is sharper that I like it better. Nice shots here, but try using a deeper DOF if you can (I know .. low light dictates what you can do! I already see the grain starting to show here)

Green...love the 'shocked' expression.

[armando_m]

Greg yes I could have used more DOF on both
#1 I had more than enough light
#2 hmm, maybe , this is a crop, smaller aperture, higher iso , hmm, I'm not sure

Thanks VSS

Green for me. I like it that the eye is closer.

Green, vibrant color, excellent shadows, bokeh. The first one has some high noon light.
