    Default 3D Pigeon

    This is almost full frame. I just like the way this seems the pigeon is flying out of the screen. Taken at a local birding spot in Pretoria on saturday morning. As the pigeon was too far to the left in my frame, Ive extended the canvas a bit on the left and bottom.

    Nice sharpness and good eye contact. The bird looks great against that beautiful BG. The fanned tail feathers are nice, but the wing position could be a little better. In particular, I wish the near wing was more dynamic and didn't cast a strong shadow on the body.

    Shadows are a bit on the donwside, but plenty sharp and very nice tail feathers.

    BG is hard to beat with the nice warm colours.
