Humble Pigeon

[leeperry]

At one point all 4 pigeon heads were facing forward, but as I took the shot 2 heads moved. On the plus side the front one puffed up his feathers.
Canon 1100D, Canon EFS 18mm-55mm. Exp 1/200sec 5.6f ISO 100 FL 55mm
I did try to use Flicker to upload image but to no avail, so I restarted an old Photobucket membership from years ago.
Hope this works

Re: Humble Pigeon

Yes it worked and is a good photo , I like it . I would however crop it in a bit more from the right , and give a little more space to the left if you have the room in the original . I like the wide angle view you have achieved , looks good .

Re: Humble Pigeon

Thanks Tom, Steve and Fallow for your comments it is appreciated.
I tried your idea of the cropping, it does improve the composition.

Re: Humble Pigeon

As requested Fallow the new cropped version.
When I shot the image, I rested the camera on the wooden rail the pigeons were sitting.
Some differences in images with PP. Must learn how to save settings in PS.

Re: Humble Pigeon

The second image is a big improvement. The wooden rail also provides a good lead in for the eye.

Re: Humble Pigeon

Many thanks Fallow and Brian for your comments.
I maybe overdone the purple saturation in PS in the second image.
