Excellent work capturing this pigeon's colours!

Agree with what Jeff said. Textured, luminescent feathers, sympathetic bokeh, and complementary-colored orange iris contribute to a pleasing composition.

Your skill--especially with lighting--transforms the ordinary into the sublime. =V=

Gordon: I am not much of a bird photographer or bird admirer (sp?), but I do find this photo quite striking. Well done!
