African Green Pigeon

Such awesome birds but not the easiest to get out in the open. Fortunately I found this one nest building.

A lovely capture of a very beautiful subject Richard. Focus is crisp on all except the far bit of the tail and the colours are superb. I think I'd take out the out-of-focus branch below the tail though.<script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/b78d8197/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script>

Hi Rich, Lovely behavioural pose with nesting material in his beak, and the colours look spot on. Great you managed to capture him in the open without those OOF leaves surrounding him.

A pigeon I dont have in my files. :w3
