This is fantastic, was wondering how you captured this, too bad a fatality was required.

Looks real but also sureal.

 

Never knew a few features can look sooo beautiful. The white and the colors blend together so well - purity and life.

BTW - what kind of bird was it (or should i say "is it")?

You have some of the best stuff I've seen here! Very original and beautiful work.

Excellent composition, vivid color.

You are for sure the man who can do a lot with very little. Great shot !

Somehow, everytime I visit photo net, sooner or later I come back to this one

Once again I look at this photograph, and still it draws me to it again and again, the colours of nature, the eye of you and the accident that brought you to take this, still has lots of appeal, good photo Seven, well done

The beautiful colours and textures, and the original approach to a "nature" subject, make this a truly stunning image. One of the best I have seen. Take pride in a great achievement!

Six months after I originally rated this I run back into it and it strikes me again as the most spectacular image I've seen on this site. The only 10/10 I've givin. Still beautiful.

I love the picture and the story :-)

like a dream

Having picked up a few injured birds myself, I can relate to your experiences, Seven. And this photograph is simply stunning. Can't we expand the rating to 20/20 for shots like this one?

Wow hard to believe those colors. What a beautiful memorial. Did you use avail light I assume?

 

Daren, thanks. Yes, I just used the available outdoor lighting - it was overcast but fairly bright. Cheers.

Very nice framing and beautiful exposure. Great folder Seven! Thanks for your rating and kindly comment on my "Droplet" and "Bed time" . Regards.

Great composition! In India, white is the color of funerals...for me, this photo suggests death (white) encroaching on life (colors). Too bad about the pigeon's sacrifice...

one of a kind.... exceptional

The entire portfolio is impressive for it's good design and color sense. But this photo is truly superb! Beautiful work.

thought i may have commented on this a while back but it doesnt look like i have. dont have much more to say other than i wanted you to know that this is one of the most beautiful photographs ive seen.

I agree with all the above comments. A beautiful photo with a touching story behind it. I too would like to see the broader view, but perhaps it is best left to the imagination in this case, picturing a majestic beast.

Beautifully composed, sharp and perfect exposure.

Hi my fine feathered friend. This is a beautifull photo. Great deal of detail in the feathers. I want to square it up a bit to make the diagonals more prominent. But, I don't want to lose the top lovely soft grey colors either. Hmmmmm 6 of one, half dozen of another. Probably best just as is. You seem to have a record number of comments on here.
