    Yup, another boring, omnipresent pigeon.

    Come to think of it, I could do all my bird photos in the downtown area :o


    D300, 70-300 VR @ 70mm; ISO 400, f5, 1/2000sec; aperture priority +0.67; no flash. cropped; lightened up the shadow area.

    Very nice Desmon,
    I like the capture. I like the semi blur in the upper part of the wings...:)

    Hi Desmond!
    I really love this - it looks like an angel - very other-worldly.

    Nice pose and sharp. And I have nothing against piegons... A Shadow/Highlight adjustment could open up the detail in the dark areas.

    Desmond, you have a way with the pigeons; this one does have an angelic look.

    I have a way with the pigeons ? ...Oooookay :)

    Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. I did lighten up the shadow but was wondering if too much would make it look unnatural. Guess has to re-think :D
