    Well captured! But, since this is the critique thread: I think just a little more work with levels and curves to bring out some of the feather detail, especially on his left wing and under his throat.

    I'll add, maybe a way to soften the background a bit. The branch on the upper right calls my name.

    I got a half dozen shots or so that day. I think this one is a little better. Can I bother you for more opinions?

    my preference is for the first one. The second looks too sharp to me.

    You can definitely see more of the birds feathers in the second shot but along with that... a lot of noise. It's neat to see the feat stand out soo much compare to the bench..is that from the dof or pp?

    Ok. I am too tired... I shouldn't be editing photos. That is totally PP. I thought the problem with the first shot was that I sharpened the whole thing which sharpened the bokeh and made it distracting. This time I took the time to isolate the pigeon but I should have included the bench... d'oh!

    I am not a big fan of pidgeons but this guy seems like he is from some Disney story, with purple scarf and all. Nice image.
