Excellent capture ... I've been practicing some shots like this recently and it's really hard! (Especially without so high a shutter speed or zoom factor or manual focus :( ) Congratulations on another top-ten finish.

Greetings from the Critique Club:

There is very little I can say about this image other than that I think it's a terrific capture. I like the motion, the crispness of the head, eye, and beak, and the bird's color is very natural. The focus is good and you have gotten the feel of the beat of the wings and that wonderful "shoulder" motion. Thanks for the image.

Great shot very nice! Look at the eye and neck color wow!

Whew, now that's a difficult shot to get, nice clear capture, good job!

My father was a top pigeon "sportsman" and a reporter for a regional pigeon paper. Now that I'm 45, this is the sharpest "in flight" pigeon picture I have ever seen. Compliments.

Really, it meets the challenge. At the same time, focus is good, but the lighting is not the best. Try it in another time with more sun.

Very good focus. Must have nice telephoto...
01/07/2004 02:49:44 PM
Beautiful capture, with sharp focus, perfect exposure and a background that is just out of focus enough to make the bird stand out.

Excellent - The eye is stunning!
01/06/2004 10:54:39 AM
Absolutley beautiful! 10

Really good shot here, well captured. Would have had top marks had you sharpened it up a bit more. If you had done this, the tail and wings would have stood out more. Well done though!! 9

Wonderful focus, light and detail. Love the centered crop for this shot. Compliments to you.

Best shot of the bunch. Congrats

Good stop action of the pigeon.

One of the nicest bird capture photographs I've seen. Great sharpness on the bird!
01/05/2004 03:58:35 AM
Nice capture - this is not easy! Love the spread wings and visible feathers.
01/05/2004 01:23:16 AM
Good detail...very good! Great dof. The eye is just perfectly clear. Congrats!
01/05/2004 01:22:27 AM
neat capture. I particularly like how the bird is framed so symmetrically against the tree
01/05/2004 01:03:10 AM
Looks like a Canon shot. They really do a nice job of these types of shots. Like this one. I would like to see a even less DOF. 9.
