 A Crowned Pigeon from New Guinea. I chased this guy around in the aviary at the Los Angeles Zoo, and then he got mad and chased me around. I couldn't find a decription on the bird, so I'm not exactly sure what kind of Crowned Pigeon it is. It's a big beautiful bird, although it was kind of dissappointed to find out it is just a pigeon.

Did some minor levels adjustments (the eyes are really that bright red color)

Fabulous. I love the framing - the backlighting really works with the head feathers. Well done.

What an unusual bird and your composition really highlights that incredible crown. Nice detail, nice contrast between colours of bird and background, nice composition too. 8
