Pidgeon coming in!

Coming in for a londing! This is a very timid Band-Tailed Pidgeon. They

are not keen on any strangers in their backyard. He must not have seen

me... Is it too blurry to be worth keeping?

Wonderful !!

I would keep it for sure. The head is sharp enough and teh motion blur adds to the photo and subject. Nice.

Excellent capture Sonia. The sense of motion makes it better. I wander what it would look like B&W?

I like the movement, the widely fanned tail, the yellow feet and beak. Was wondering about the crop - how it would look in the upper right corner maybe? Fantastic shot anyway.

Thank you all for your time and kind thoughts. Karlwim, I would agree that perhaps it would look better entering the frame, as you suggested in the top right corner but I was cropping out a platform that he was about to land on. This really restricted how I was able to frame him.

Really like this image, Beautiful done!
