    Just a pigeon I know, but this was optimistic for me. He was carting branches of all different sizes around today. Thought I could get away with the HA if the bird is doing something other than looking at you:)
    40D
    -2/3 in AV
    f5.6
    ISO 400 (didn't go any higher because I don't think the camera is good with noise)
    100 -400 @400
    Straightened
    1/50 s
    fill flash with BB @ -2
    Tripod

    You have my Get Out Of Jail Pass Jackie,
    Is he one of your pets? It looks like you have him trained...:eek::D
    I like the capture...my suggestion would be to open up the mid-tones just a tad and lighten the background a little, not too much...:cool:

    Jackie, That's a cute shot. I like the diagonal stick and the very clear eye!

    I am off sick today Gus, just had to stick my camera outside. OK I'm an addict, thanks for the pass. Yes I feed them all.
    Good suggestions BTW. Thanks Denise. I thought it was nice to have a sign of spring in the air:) for all us northerners....

    I like it Jackie The looking away is not bad in this image since its deliberate and the bird is looking for something out of the frame.

    Would like to see a little more room to the right of the stick. You always want more room in the direction the bird is looking .. in this case right !!! I like it a lot !!! How you feel better !!!

    Tried all the suggestions. Al I thought I had left enough room. Content Aware saved the day.
