This is a stunning capture of this Victoria Crowned Pigeon. Your good camera techniques and superb eye clarity draw us right into this photography. Most interesting and beautiful bird with the intricate head piece and the stunning red eye. I like that you filled your frame with this gorgeous creature. Your focus so sharp capturing all those defining details. Nice perspective and beautiful capture of light. A pleasure to view! Thanks for sharing these lovely scenes.

what a pity to have such a beautiful sharp capture of this Goura victoria bird against such a distracting background;
the crown is really outstanding;

    Thanks Fred, I know the background is busy, it's all I had to work with - so at least the details of her crown are showing well :)

Exquisite photograph that you have taken. This photo show off all this birds beautiful feather so clearly. Outstanding depth of field. It looks like the bird just posed for you with delightful dazzling of every detail of its beauty. This deserves 6 stars. Praiseworthy photograph. Thanks for showing it

This is beautiful. The crowned pigeon is beautiful and captured beautifully with great focus. Blue and red are delightful. The crown is clear.
Well done and thanks for sharing.

now that is one wild hairdo but i think i have seen some punk rockers copying that. i wonder where they got it from..lol. the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of birds facial and wild doo is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall

Cool,Grace!
It certainly is an exotically plumed creature,isn't it? : )
I can readily recognize it's 'family resemblance' to the extinct Dodos ( from illustrations of those birds that I've seen ) and I'm really happy to see this fine looking and pleasingly unusual Avian Portrait Image that you've presented us with here!
'Good Show',my friend!

I've gotten a few shots of this wonderful bird in the past, but yours wins hands down!

Great clarity with that wonderful eye and those plumes on the head are dynamite!

Great shot Grace!!

Now that is one crazy looking bird Grace...wow. Have never even heard of these guys so thank you for the notes!

Excellent crisp focus here...in fact, it's so well detailed that I even get the idea of the lacy look of this guys rather elegant up-do....lol What a lovely blue color as well. Nicely shown too....nothing over worked here. Well exposed and that unusual eye even has a bit of sparkle.

Most definitely something I don't see around here Grace so do appreciate you showing him so nicely and giving some background info as well.

Deborah

cool picture , you were able to detail very nicely the feathers in it's crown , great colors , and the black and red eye with a little light in it , to me the background takes a little away from the picture ..
