Mike,
A great picture of the startled Wood Pigeon watching you closely while begging for nourishment he/she know he/she needs to prevent starvation, Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

    Many thanks Susan for your kind review and comments - very much appreciated. I am not too sure about the nourishment bit as they always look extremely well fed! Mike

I just had to laugh when I saw this picture because of the emotion that you captured from this little pigeon, and I love the sand in the background and how you captured what looks like maybe some wooden steps or something like that in the back.

This is a really fine capture of the bird. I admire the sharp details and the natural colors. The pigeon has unusual markings which makes the photo even more interesting. The tight square framing seems ideal.

Funny photo and title. Like the image, colors and exposure. The photo shows the viewer a pigeon who looks puzzled and confused.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


Cute cute cute and a great title.

Yes that emotional component that we as photographers seek to have in each and every shot is in this one ...and not only does it say something about this pigeon but the photo says something about the photographer. You are fun to be with and make people laugh.

Technically this is well done in focus, good marginal space but a bit more on our left would not have hurt, exposure good as is contrast and the hues are natural.

I love how you came down to the birds eye level. That pulls us in instantly.

This is a very enjoyable photo indeed.

You are doing well in Breakfast Fare contest...YAY!

Fantastic photo and pigeon. This little guy is just awesome. Neck colors are bright and beautiful in dark blue and white. Eye and beak are also beautiful and back wings with white are just fantastic. Centered, detailed and shadowed properly. Marvelous photography and great eye viewer.
Thanks for showing.
Congratulations and Good Luck.
Have a wonderful day.

Pigeons kind of get a bad rap they are really beautiful birds. This really a nice shot. I almost expect it to fly off. I like that the surroundings are the kind that you expect too see this in. Very nice.
