The perfect composition, clean and detailed ... a joy for the eyes ... well done Tom and nice to see your pics are back ;)
 
:'D LOL, Tom! Are you sure it is half asleep? I think it is FAST asleep!!! Great different Wood Pigeon portrait, I love it!!! :t: :t: :t:
 
Or is it half awake? It's the old half a glass of beer argument, instead with birds! :-O

Nice one Tom. :t:
 
Now how many people would have wiped this off their camera on seeing the eye closed or indeed not taken the picture. It's the difference between a bird pic and insight and artistry. If I had a favourites bank this would be in it. There is little in the shot but it conveys so much. Would make an ideal picture card in my view. Great work and lovely presentation Tom.
 
Thanks everyone :)

Adam, half a beer probably more useful than half a bird? ;) lol

Adrian, thanks for your observations and input :t:
