Lovely work, crisp, perfect shutter speed and mid leap caught. A bit high on the exposure but that brought out the detail under the wings.

A lovely crisp shot with great BG. Good exposure. Lovely image difficult to achieve as they are very busy.

Despite the central composition of the birds face the image is otherwise a wonderful insight into nest building and in its environment too. Crisp clean sharp and great BG. 8.

Beautifully done. Perfect exposure. DOF. The look. Composition It's a pretty slow moving animal so this helps get the shot right but the other factors mentioned make this a clean and lovable image.

Great moment caught and not easy to get bird with prey. Much patience is needed. The BG is very busy but that is wild photography. You get what you get sometimes. I feel a bit over sharpened but overall a nice result.

Birds in branches :) Interesting noisy post processing. Very unusual border, a first for DPC (at least that I've seen)

I like the golds and silhouette. It's not easy to catch birds in flight despite these being fairly far away. The composition is a bit too central for my liking still a nice image.

Great DOF and crisp eye as it should be. Good OOF BG albeit quite busy. Lovely colours and textures of the feathers. Garden bird? Did he get the worm?

Adding Color to the Sky

I have often toyed with the idea of how digital processing of a wildlife image can actually represent same. Your editing in this instance is succinct. Taking the smog filled grey world of a pigeon and freeing it from this by flight into a colourful (albeit over-saturated) blue space. It's a good concept and I've rewarded it.
