Just by the mere mentioning of that name I know I'm in for a fa fabulous subject.
Glamorous.
Fantabulous.
Rara avis!

Her splendid impeccable beauty still stands out even in a low lit condition with a busy backdrop.
That's how gorgeous this bird is!
Are those headdress feather tips luminous or iridescent or just plain light blue?!?
It glows in the dark!
Superb eye clarity.
Up close & very personal.
Mother Nature is in her artistic elements when she designed this species!

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Compact framing.
Pin sharp focusing.
Subdued lighting!

Thanks for sharing...

A beautiful bird in full display. The colors are very nice and I like the detail in the eye as well as the crown. The tight framing is great but the background is a bit distracting. I know that there is likely nothing that can be done about it.

Wow. What a beautiful image of this elegant bird. The details and sharp exposure really make the image pop. The colors are well rendered. I like the subtle lighting on the tips of the crown. The background enhances the overall scene. Very well done my friend ~ Steve

omg...never seen a pigeon like this before and to be related to the Dodo is pretty cool. I can see the correlation there ! You have presented this perfectly within a good structure with a slightly diffused background allowing the subject to display his crest to its full potential

    Thank you so much! I really wanted the crown to stand out, and it amazing how difficult it is to get the white tips at the right angle to get them to show up clearly. I'm glad you like it and that it is something new and different :)
