I like the tight view, detail and sharpness. For these I try to line up totally straight to see both eyes about the same then crop symmetrical on both sides .. just one way of doing !! Exposure wise might give it another third.
I find the most challenging part for pigeons is getting a good bg, all green here would be great, draws attention all to the bird !!! Excellent !!!!
... don't forget to drop some comments on others:)
Hi Kostas, Good comments by Al. I might have shot this at F8 hoping to get the beak sharp. Not sure if F/8 would of done the trick. I realize you were trying to get as much speed as possible...
Greetings. I like the color you got with this one, particularly with the contrasting background. A little more light (or lightening) on the left side eye would be my preference. Captivating eye contact...
Hi Kostas - agree with the above comments - F8 might not have even been enough - try focusing about 1/2 way down the beak - might get enough in front and behind in the way of DOF.
Keep em coming :)
