Hi Goldy,

Lovely to hear from you I've been out of action for a week or so still trying to catch up with all the postings I've missed, this is a beautiful shot of a Yellow-footed Green Pigeon, amazing colours, excellent detail, well framed and composed amongst the thorn bush, beautiful looking bird, well done.

All the best Cheers Rick :)

Hello Goldy,

Very nice picture of this beautiful pigeon in an acacia. Good POV, DOF and focus despite the branches in front of the bird. Good light and great colours.

Despite so many branches of the thorny tree around the subject, you have captured this exotic pigeon very well, Goldy.
The bird with its head turned sideways looks beautiful.
Well done and TFS.

Hi Goldy, lovely bird with fantastic colors, fine details and excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

You have quite the different mix of birds there goldy. I looked this one up in a book which Fartash sent me of sub Asian birds.....a fine capture of a bird I would love to see right up close. A nice shade for the pigeon and a first time see for me...Very nicely done!

Hi Goldy,

I've been away and missed some wonderful posts of yours. There are no pigeons here with lovely colors like this one. I love the pose and the dreamy look on his face. A beautiful setting and a lovely composition.

Hi Goldy, this is certainly better looking than the grey pigeons I'm used to. You had a difficult shot, through the branches and with a light backlit sky, but you were able to focus well on the bird. The bird is sharp with great colour, good exposure, it turned out very well.

Thanks, John

This is a fine capture, Goldy!
A species that I could only photograph at a distance and you have taken this yellow-footed green pigeon closely, sharply, from a fine POV, in a fine pose and well composed in a natural environment.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
Ivan
