Wood Pigeon

Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus)

I found exposing him with the chimney behind was a little easier than when there's just bright sky and it seems to have brought out his colours quite nicely too.

They've certainly been very much more of a presence recently. They used to disappear for weeks at a time.

Lovely shot and pose Delia, many tfs and he looks in pristine well fed condition.
 
Having nothing but a bright sky behind a bird can be a problem, that's why I try to avoid that if I can. Nice job getting the chimney behind this bird, makes for a very nice shot!
 
Yeah, it does make the image softer on the eyes; good thinking & a great shot, Delia!! tfs.
