couple of pigeons from yesterday first a male second female i think c&c welcome and thanks.
cheers pa

Nice shots but seem to lack contrast and colour. (I am biased towards high saturated colours so others may disagree)

Would be cooler to capture them when they are about to fly off or about to land or while in flight than static poses. The drab sky was against you that day.

I like the first, nice and soft and I like the rain drops on the head.

Inspired me to go back to some of my "Raindrops keep falling on my head" bird shots and have a look with a bit more knowledge about PP.

edit: soft as in gentle, not as in focus!

Hey Pa

I'm going to start calling you Pa Birdman
As has been said, the raindrops on the head of the male white-headed pigeon in the first shot is cool ... almost looks like diamonds sitting there

The second one is an immature white-headed pigeon - so can't really tell if it's male or female.

And for the record, I wasn't just making that up - they really are white-headed pigeons, or Columba leucomela :) LOL

thanks surenj,i've found with whites on birds it's so easy to
blow the detail with to much processing.thanks casnell i'm happy with these images apart from the wire.thanks rel,the second was a smaller bird,did'nt have a clue as to the correct name,my dad used to call them baldys
cheers pa
