Hi Hansie, he is a beauty!! What an awesome 'hat' he has, and those brilliant red eyes - wow!!
I would have preferred a bit more space showing in front of his beak though. But he's still worth a smilie from me. You show him well

hi Hans

Very nice capture of such a colorful head crown feature with a good close up sharp view and a good choice of bokeh effect. The red eye is great and well positioned. A fine TL post.

tfs, bill

Hi Hans,
This is a great presentation of this interesting bird. At first sight I couldn't belive that it's a pigeon,but after examining its eyes more detailed, I ealized it does look like a pigeon, just the 'crown' confused me. :) Fine shot, I like its soft blue colour. TFS!
Greetings,
Kristof

What beautiful detail you captured here Hans, and a nice catchlight in the eye, well done.
A little more space on the left would help the composition.
Cheers my friend, Marilyn says Hi,
