Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark II
Lens: Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM

Date: Mar 21, 2011
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 640
Shutter: 1/2500

Date Uploaded: Mar 21, 2011

This shot was taken, just after take off. The bird being two stories off the ground. His downward angle, helped create the head on view. Image was cropped and black level slightly raised with sharpening. This was on an overcast day. So I exposed for the bird and let the background go white. Simple, but I do love the Interesting wings and angle. Hopefully others will agree.
Man do I love that lens!

Excellent shot! Love the ruffles in the feathers on the top of the wings. Love the subtlety of the purple on the face and neck. Beautifully done! (not voting, just looking)

This seems like a dramatic action scene in a movie. The war-torn hero swoops in for another attack.

I can honestly say I've never seen a pigeon shot like this, I love the wings.
