    To borrow Rodney Dangerfield's favorite expression, "pigeons don't get no respect." Two days ago I photographed this guy going about his usual business of pecking away at almost everything. And I thought he looked pretty good doing it. Hope you think so too. C&C, please.

    Hi Wendell,
    I like the capture, you got yourself one mighty fine looking bird...I like the dancing pose with the raised foot, your color rendition is good and so are the feather details...you have a good head angle and sharp eye contact...I took the liberty in adjusting your base image in order to give you a different capture angle to consider...I cropped a little from the top and bottom of the frame and a tad from the left side to convert this into a tight pano...also cleaned up the white specks and the OOF blob directly on top of your bird's head, ran noise reduction in the background and adjusted the contrast a little and selective sharpened the eye just a little more...see if this presents best to you...:cool:

    Like the repost, especially removal of the stuff just above the head.

    Hi Wendell Like the image also and only a lower angle would have made it better ... flat on the ground !!!!
