A lovely composition of this Crested Pigeon Ian. The bird has posed very nicely for you with an excellent head angle to camera. Great BG. I have always been fond of the pastel colours this bird exhibits.
Just shows what can be achieved in the home garden!!

What a beautiful bird. Very nice composition and BG, color and perch. Image seems a little soft to me.

What a cool bird! Id take some off the top and add a touch to the right if it was mine.
