    Love the bird, exposure, eye, and beautiful BG blur. I wish it was coming a little more at you for the far wing. Well done, Stuart!

    Great to have the opportunity of getting lots of pigeons, and I know from experience they are not easy targets.
    Great EXP, compo and BG, wish, as mentioned, it was coming at you.

    I like the capture with the wing up. Exposure and background looks great. As mentioned I wish it were coming a little more towards you. I haven't tried capturing any pigeons in flight and I can imagine they are not easy to capture.

    Stuart, great exposure, sharpness and BG.
    Left wing position could have been better but heck, I would like to have this in my file.
