Barnardius zonarius semitorquatus


detailed image of the bird showing visual characteristics of the subspecies as described in the article Australian Ringneck. The difference between these two subspecies is that B. z. zonarius has a yellow abdomen while B. z. semitorquatus has a green abdomen; the latter has also a prominent crimson frontal band that the former lacks.

 * Comments:
 * Not sure why this has attracted no comments. I rather like it, the crop is far better FWIW. Some possible concerns at FPC. Expect some knee jerk opposes due to the subject being 'cutoff' (refer to my recent swamp wallaby nomination to see what I mean). The rail(?) it's sitting on is probably not ideal, but on the other hand it's not especially distracting. Appears to be pretty harsh lighting on the beak, what I assume is some pretty strong flash reflection, which is somewhat apparent elsewhere. Seems to be OK though and could be worth considering trying out. --jjron (talk) 08:43, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * In my limited experience you'd probably not go too well with the direct flash lighting or the "cut off" composition. Noodle snacks (talk) 09:56, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
