Eye-catching(!): the partially open/closed nictitating membrane simply gives the nod/wink to this being not at all what it might at first seem. Wit and whimsy, graphically lush.

Comment by timmi:
Interesting colour and composition. Love the soft background with hints of other pigeons. The bird's stare is almost scarry. A moment well captured.

The eye is pretty distracting.

It's too bad the nictitating membrane wasn't fully retracted.

A true bird portrait. What a character!

I like the yellows in the background and how they contrast with the blues. Too bad about the hot spot on the right.

I love this one. Probably my favorite in the challenge. I love the details in the feathers and I love the eye. I also love the oof birds in the background. I'll have to check back to see what kind of equipment you used. Only minor critisim is that the top of the beak is a little blown out. I never would have noticed though if I wasn't looking for something to critisize. Great shot.
