Feral Pigeon

OK, just one more pigeon from me. I left the OOF foliage on the RHS to balance the comp.

Stuart, Really nice details under the wing and I like the foliage on the right also. The iridescence is captured nicely.

beautiful pose,eye contact...wing position!

Stuart:

Sharp, well exposed, nice wing position, like the subtle clouds in the BG.

Just for my personal taste, a sliver more room at the bottom. I know, the bird is flying up, but I still think a bit more below would work well.

Cheers

Beautiful detail and color, and I like the balance with the foliage. It does feel a little tight on the bottom.

Great wing position and eye contact! The iridescense on the neck really adds to the image. Another vote for a little more room at the bottom.

I love pigeons and I like the wing position captured also the irredescense is seen nicely well done Stuart.

NTS Stu. Sharp, well exposed, good comp (although a bit added as suggested would improve it) and well captured.
Would try to extract a bit of detail out of the shadows?

Well done bro! Love the pose. Captured with expert timing! I do agree with Randy about a touch more space below. :) Congrats!
