A superb portrait. The soft light is very nice indeed and the perch and setting are excellent.
One of the nicest Woodpigeon images I've seen.

Good stuff.
Much under rated species photographically.

Works for me fill, perhaps a hint more in Curves just to 'pop it' only on the WP & a more smoother BG would be more pleasing. :wink:

Love it! Any photo that takes an overlooked subject and renders it beautiful is a winner for me :toast:

Lovely image. I wonder if a little fill in flash might have made it pop a little more, but a great portrait as is.

This works very well but I might be tempted to lose the branches at the top as they are a little distracting and don't add tot he image IMO.. Good to see these photographed as they are another very overlooked species.
