What a beautiful parrot! Look
at all those colors, those beautiful feathers, that elegant tail (bear with me,
I am not a parrot aficionado, I am just trying to get you into the mood).
And then, after you have
admired it, look closer, 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.

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