September 2024 POTM Contest!

[Terry57]

September's Theme
is
"I'm Ready for my Close-up!"

​

This month I want to see all those beautiful faces
up close and personal!

​

The contest will run until Sept. 28, and a poll for voting will go up then.
The winner will be announced on Oct. 1.

The winner will receive a Supporting Membership for one year,
and their photo will be on the forum home page as the winner for the month of September.
The winning entry will also be entered into the Photo of the Year contest held next February.
You also get a nifty banner on your profile that says," Parrot of the Month"!

One official entry per person, but you can add as many
'Just for Fun' entries as you want!
Please make sure to specify which one is your official entry,
and remember to follow all Forum rules for safety, etc.
Please include your bird's name somewhere in your post.

Well there are close ups and then there are close ups!!

Handsome Lovejoy, probably the best photo I will ever take and it was a total photobomb cos he got his big red head in the way when I was trying to take a pic of Peachie!!

And my precious little Val, taken a few years ago when I needed some pics to show his vet. Needless to say he was NOT happy!!

Oh, yeah? Well, I got yer close-up right here, baby!
Just for Fun... for now...
Sorry, everybody for all the kerfuffle, but when you've had a bird for 40 years, and you have a zillion photos, and all the friends/family are tired of seeing 'em, well... ya lose your mind a little in these forums!

Ooooh! I love how all of his feathers look! Look out, Peachie, it's MY time to shine!

And my precious little Val, taken a few years ago when I needed some pics to show his vet. Needless to say he was NOT happy!!

The look on Val's face is priceless...and a little scary! That look in his eye shows how deeply he was offended.

Both of these are fantastic! The first one he looks so sweet and friendly and in the second he's like, "Excuse me, can I help you with something?"
