Let's see. Here we have a photo of a large parrot bending his head towards the inside of his wings. Well, what a spectacular shot.

The colours drew my attention from the very first moment. There are spots with incredible contrast, like between the bright and dark green (shadow) on its wings on the right side. The POV is adorable and quite original, the parrot's eye is in the middle of the picture and the white around it equalises the beautiful coloursthat circle it. The quality of the picture is satisfactory, much detail on the focused areas, which is a very good thing.
Red is taking up too much space. I think it would have been better to try and put more tension to the blues and greens. That beuge-pink spot on the background sort of ruins the great contrast applied by the dark blue opposite to red. As for the focus, I like the amount of softness/blurr on the background, but I believe it should be more sharply centered on its head, rather than on the head and the front wing. Lastly, I do adore the colours and I think that boosting them would be a good editing choice here, generally.

In conclusion, this amazing picture depends on its colours to please the eye. I find the POV creative, but I believe that it lacks in composition and focus.
