Hi Tom
nice capture of the Bird but the highlights in the BG are a bit distracting.

It's really only the glaring highlight on the lhs that detracts for me. As you say - shame about the feet. However you've certainly captured the woodie character. :smile:

I can feel a bit of selective H/S coming on.

Hi Tom

Nice shot - agree I would try and tone down the highlight a little!

Hi Tom,
With that highlight in the background toned down I think you'll be left with a fine shot of the pigeon in it's habitat.
I find the way the earth and branches curve through the lower corner very effective.I like the dappled sunlit backdrop also.

Hi Tom
Well captured bird in its habitat. The BG and foreground colours (or lack of them) set against the pigeon work very well.
Cheers Simon

Nice... any crits have been mentioned and as you say shame about the feet, good to see an image of a species that is often overlooked..

All the best
