Just happened to capture this on my way home from a shoot and I quite liked it... does it work for anyone else?

i like it however i would have crouched further and lost the sea defence wall thingy. touch brighter maybe too. but the shot is well balanced considering it wasnt your main shoot. i like the positioning of the bird in the corner too. nice work!

I can see why you fell in love with it...like how we can almost see him walking and how he is compose off to the far side....but I'm finding the whole composition too busy and the bird doesn't stand out enough.

Hi Nat. Nice choice of aperture, you may have even got away with slightly wider. Good bokeh, enough to see what is in the background whilst retaining a sharp frontal image. Did you fire off any more shots? Would have been nice to have seen more of pigeons face. Looks windy, hope you were wrapped up warm!

Hi guys,

Thanks for all your comments - much appreciated! I agree, I'm sure crouching down would have made it a better shot, and it's some kind of karting track to the left, which definitely makes it too busy, I'd like to get rid of that.

It was a fluke I'm afraid Tco - bird didn't fall off the edge(!), but did fly off, so only the one shot. But I was wrapped up warm lol

I am also having probs with a lot of my shots being a bit lifeless and not bright enough, so have reset the colour saturation on my camera and going for a brighter histogram. Lets see if that helps.

Thanks again

Nat
