What a crazy looking bird that is well captured in this shot. The head crest is beautiful and well shot to bring out the details. Nice focus and the white tips catch the light nicely. The red eyes and short beak add to the strange features. Good color, good use of light. Well seen.

This is a very special pigeon, and so beautiful with lace like crests. For sure worthy of a queen. The bird also have very delicate light blue colors, and the brown hues of the background is therefore perfect.

The bird is standing out sharp and well defined against the background, and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the bird. The exposure is perfect.

The tight cropping is working well, and the bird has got a fine placement within the frame. I think this is a lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

Superb capture of the details and colors in her crown. They glisten and shine so perfectly. She is definitely a queen, and thank you for showing us her beauty!

This is the most beautiful pigeon I have ever seen ! Wow! I love the powder blue coloring with the pinkish tone on the chest, the crown feathers are absolutely gorgeous, so very elegant, they just shimmer! This pigeon has a beautiful face and a clear red eye! This is of course well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well handled, colors and tones appear natural. This was truly a pleasure to view!

A beautiful specimen that is shown in very fine detail. The "crown" is spectacular but I especially like the look of the eye and beak. Great colors and beautiful cropping.
