Aw yes, I know what you mean about other birds.
I posted these 2 same birds myself yesterday:):
Very nice color.

Gubbs,

That's one good looking pigeon Looks like he's giving you the "evil eye"....lol Or, were you cheating and he's just watching to see when you'll throw that next piece of bread towards him?

I like the duck too, but to me the pigeon is prettier....I mean as far as birds go....lol


Thanks for sharing,
Steve

I bet if you ask nicely, Harry will send you one of his stuffed Egrets. It might be tricky getting it through Customs though....lol What's the VAT on stuffed waterfowl running?

Hiya gubbs,

Two very good shots. I like the pigeon shot because (beside the technical stuff) you caught it in a moment where it had some "personality". Too many folks take shots of the "bird like a staute" variety.

I love the colors on the duck shot.

I agree with Harry. Both are very nice.

I think the pigeon is showing some emotion there! Nice shots Gubbs.

Gubby: The pigeon; great confrontation, love the stare. terrific DOF.

The duck; Really nice colors.

I like the look you're getting from the pigeon (did I just say I liked a pigeon
shot?).

Thanks Harry, the duck is a good example of a "statue" but I shot because of the colours from the moss

Thanks Micheal, It crossed my mind but I didn't think the emotion was strong enough

Thanks for all your comments Angelo, it seemed like he posed for the camera, probably thought I had bread!
