Hello Alexei,
this must be the best in-flight shot of pigeon on TN.
They are fast and not easy to catch. The sharpness is excellent with lots of fine details and the exposure is spot on, you managed to get the beautiful shimmering plumage in a great way.
The composition, POV and pose with spread wings are also excellent.
It's enjoyable to look at this high quality picture.
Well done, mf.

Very nice in-flight shot of this pigeon,I myself find them so common that I never photographed them, what a shame,looks beautiful... Position of the bird in the frame is very good and your pigeon looks great against the clear blue sky.

Hello Alexei,
Nice in flight image. Well composed through this diagonal. The former does generate more speed or is it suggests...
Bluish sky is a plus.
All the best.

Hello Alexei,
The POV, lighting, frozen wing position, colours and composition against a fine blue sky make this a great in-flight capture of a Feral Pigeon. The sharpness is superb and the eye stands out so well.
You took a great shot and made this common bird look special!
Thanks and best regards,

Hi Alexei,

Although common, pigeons certainly have a beauty of their own. A wonderful in-flight shot of this one with amazing details of the face, eye, beak, wings and plumage. Beautiful iridescent colors, marvelous wing positions and a fantastic composition against the perfect blue sky. You have mastered your teleconverter.

Definitivamente: eres un gran artista vcomo fotógrafo ! y digo esto no solamente por la calidad técnica de tus tomas, que es evidente en todas ellas, sino porque captas momentos, poses y actitudes especiales en los animales que fotografías.
Todo un espectáculo para TK .

Hallo Alexei
Now this is what I call a good-looking bird. This is really spectacular. A lovely image with stunning colours and sharp details, with spot on focus. The purple and jade stripes in the neckline is surely an eye-catcher and a great attraction. The frozen moment captured of the bird in the air is great, showing the "proud" chest feathers to its best and in all its splendour. The blue colour of the sky is amazing, almost the colour of Loot’s eyes. This was a real pleasure to look at. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Hi Alexei

Fantastic shot of this common species. One of the best in-flight shots I've seen of this species.
It certainly is pin-sharp and perfectly highlighted against the blue sky.
An exellent result, well done.

Hi Alexei, I like to see photos of flying birds and this is a very good one. The POV and the colours around its neck along with good clarity makes it a fine nature image. The 80-200 did a great job in your steady hands. TFS. Murray.
