Thank you Nina - I like their approachability, their antics and behaviors. And to boot, each pigeon has its own unique 'artwork' displayed in the design, patterns, tints and arrangement of its feathers. Wonderful!
Super portrait Bernie. I agree with you about the kind of bird to shoot. You sure have the talent to present many different images of the same pigeon and each one will be a piece of art. This is an amazing portrait of a common bird..
Thank you very much Yves for your generous comment. I don't know about my talent, but the pigeon's talent - the art, the textures, the colours - comes naturally.
Wow Bernie this portrait is exceptional. Such beautiful colours, detail and great focus.
Thank you Debra - they are colorful, and to boot, you can find them almost anywhere in plain sight. Sometimes too plentiful . .
Thank you Clifford. This pigeon and I shared a spot on the Halifax waterfront for about 1/2 hour . . and I did not feed him/her. Very obliging bird, and the best part was that the background is totally natural - part of the pier structure, so the post-editing was so easy. Thanks again.
These guys are always so colorful and what a great pic you have captured, so clear, sharp and uncluttered, well done
