I like the white patches on this pigeon’s head and face.

Ed. Note: Thanks for your very generous and kind words about my pigeon photo. For some real awesome and inspiring bird photos stop by Abraham Lincoln’s My Birds Blog and Klaus’s Virtua Gallery. I wanna take photos like them some day. You can find more cool links in my Blogroll section.

Paz,
You are truly gifted in bird photography, somehow you get them to pose for you–amazing!

Great picture, Paz. I like his eye, too. I suppose the pink background is a wall, isn’t it?
ok, so how is it you got him to sit so still in front of that red/pink backdrop? do you zoom or can you get that close to them? unreal!
You’ve captured so much detail.
Well done.
The most distinguished pigeon I ever saw!
I thought I was about to write a most original comment before I saw what everyone else said !!!
In fact, it looks like you booked this pigeon through an agency and had him come in or coo-in, and pose for you.
“Turn just a bit to the left- yes, just like that- now look dignified and hold it, hold it…… that’s it!”
Hi Amy: I saw this pigeon this morning and told him what you said. He puffed some more with pride.
Hi Rhonda: Thanks for your very, very kind words. I’ve listed links to some REAL gifted bird photographers. I have a long way to go and so far, I’m mostly getting pigeons. I gotta start somewhere. Right?
Ciao Pietro: I like his eye, too. Yes, the pink background is the back wall of a building.
Hi Christine: I was very lucky that he didn’t get spooked and fly away as they all do. I got as close as possible and used my baby zoom lens and macro.
Hi Carletta: Thanks!
Hi Sue! He thanks you.
LOL! Hi Bonnie: Very funny! This pigeon seemed to cooperate with me, didn’t he. I’m sooo grateful.
Thanks everyone for stopping by with your kind comments.

what a beautiful portrait. The pigeons markings are perfect with the background color.
Amazing Paz.
Cutsie! And what a nice background:)
You do love your birds!
A super background color too.
I’m back. Hope to see you soon?
Hi Lily: They do match, don’t they.
Hi Britt-Arnhild: Thanks!
Hi Pia!
Hi Elizabeth! I’m so glad you’re back. Will call over the weekend!
Thanks, everyone, for stopping by!

You’re amazing! This is such a perfect photo! The pigeon does look a little bit scary to me though…
Hi Harriet: A little bit scary? LOL! Then it’s a good thing that you don’t bump into him dark alley.

This photo really is a beautiful pigeon’s portrait and the photo is colourful because of its nice background. I too like the white patches on the pigeon’s head and face. It is interesting, indeed!
Hi Medam: Thanks so much!
