Wow, thanks a lot for the dedication :)

Your picture is great. Sharpness is perfect.
I love the colors of background and the pigeon.
The feathers of the pigeon shimmer in metallic colors. The background has some beauiful green tones.
Great POV and composition.

A perfect portrait in profile with fine plumage and colouration details Joe, the dark BG nicely highlights the natural beauty of the pigeon. I'm sure Tatjana will love it.

Hello my good friend Joe:

I have been about 10 days without being able to publish and therefore not able to comment. Already leiste and I correspondite by the problem that I had with TN, so I was able to solve with the help of all.
Having said that I am thrilled by this work of this dove to which he or she can count the segementos each feather
And the different colors green and purple. What wonder! You are a friend of mine crack. You never reach perfection or your technique by which I will make the pictures "to what comes out" I do not know if this usais expression in the UK.

A big hug friend

Josep
Thank you for your welcome my 200 photograph.

Hi Joe,
Colors on the plumage look great. Dark background makes the bird stand out very well. Light, focus, sharpness, and details are very good. TFS

Hi Joe,
A nice capture of this beautiful pigeon portrait. Excellent details and a lovely composition. BTW you have mentioned in your notes that you tried ISO 800 and 1600. But the Exif says it is ISO 200. Was it some other shots you experimented and this shot is only the dedication for Tatjana. Anyway a nice capture. And ofcourse I would like to see the experiments so that I can get some help in shooting with higher ISO. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi Joe,

Great dedication to Tatjana.
I really don't want to repeat myself, but I have to.
What an outstanding close-up shot again.
Fantastic sharpness and feather details.
The way the Pigeon does stand out against the darker color tones in the BG is great.
Most wonderful colors and contrast.
Superb work again my friend. TFS!!!

Cheers, Harry

Hi Joe

And so the story goes on and the success recipe of TrekNature proves to be unbeaten. You learn about something and you talk about it and so the next person learns about it, tries it out and finds the answer, then that person talks about it and then next person learns about it, and so the story continues. All don't learn the same things at the same time, but all keeps on learning all the time. That is why it is good to see you give credit to those who deserves it by means of this token gesture of a dedication.

As far as the Woodpigeon goes – all I can say is fabulous. Whatever else I might say about this photo will only be lip service as anybody else, you, me, and the whole of the Internet community can see for themselves that it is a perfect shot.

Great work and TFS.
Regards
Loot
