Rare Parrot, but is it real?

Things are not always what they seem.

What a beautiful parrot, no? Look at all those colors, those beautiful feathers, that elegant tail. And then, after you have admired it, look closer. Stare at the picture until you realize that this isn't a parrot at all: it's a woman meticulously made up to look like a bird. The above photo is the work of artist and former body painting champion Johannes Stoetter who spent four weeks planning this shoot, five hours setting it up, four hours painting the model, and another hour trying to find the pose that most resembled that of a real parrot. The result is beautiful and almost infuriating in its execution. see below for clues:

Having problems seeing her? The tail is her left leg and her beak is her left hand with the arm flung over her head.

thanks arthur....
every forum needs a character or two to keep us honest ....and amused.

Ah! That is why the head is a bit pointy and the end of the tail a bit odd. But seeing the woman is still hard. Those people who body paint models come up with some real works of art.

Still trying to work out whether that is an insult or a complement . .

But since the new rules have banned insults, I shall take it as the latter

If you look closely at this one and use a bit of imagination you can see a dog . .

Guess we all have off days

sorry Arthur....was not meant to offend
everyone contributes in there own way to the forum, i appreciate your querky contributions and i am sure that i'm not the only one.

A sence of humour is compulsory to a healthy human being. So I too appreciate Arthur's interesting contributions. Coming back to the pic today it is very easy to see the woman not the bird, time and knowledge change perspective.
