Aggghhhhh red eye removal
Another cracking bird study Keith and almost 3D in effect thanks to the bazooka at full length and the aperture. Pin sharp, beautiful colours and excellent feather detail, very well done again.

fantastic detail in the feathers, great colours too, a fine image of the pigeon, red eye or not

Hheheeh.. yes, good idea! To me, this is the stronger of the two images as although the bird is not so photogenic as the stork, it's more prominent in the frame and there's less distraction in the background. Looks like someone's ruffled its feathers

Great detail. Very pensive mood of the bird well caught. Probably watching for it's next meal

A cracking shot Keith. Love it for all reasons above. Well spotted and very well done.

Excellent shot Keith, the highly detailed plumage of the bird contrasting greatly with the softer background, creating as George says a lovely three dimensional effect, a well exposed pin sharp image, very pleasing to the eye, just a minor distraction bottom left corner, but that's nitpicking a fine shot,

Echo all the above praise for what is a cracking shot in all aspects, that 400mm certainly performs even wide open, another super capture, well done Keith.
