[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The white pigeon or dove has been depicted in historical art as a manifestation of the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit.

Captured at the Tibetan Colony, as the people there believe the White Pigeon to signify Peace and an idol of Good Luck, the houses that the White Pigeons visit are considered to be blessed with the Spirits of those departed.

Hi Vishal

Latching on to your notes, it seems like you were blessed with the visit of this white dove which ultimately blessed us with this posting. Pure beauty.

Excellently captured and reproduced. The vertical composition, the exquisite details, the great colour definition, the perfect and complimentary BG, and the spot-on exposure that resulted in remarkable contrasts on the white plumage, all adds up to an outstanding posting which visually is incredibly stimulating.

Great work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Vishal,

Well done with a difficult subject. To get a white bird just sharp and well exposed is not easy. I like the composition and the details on the bird.
