hello Schanze...very well arranged ..the elements are just in the right places..but wish the window at the back was totally visible..its a bit distracting..

but youve managed this compo beautifully...the saturation of colours are perfect..Youve caught the light in the bird's eye...congrats !

Cheers

Hello Wolfgang,
I can happen to anyone :-) Good daily life capture of this bemused pigeon. Thanks for sharing this little bit of humour.

Great stuff! Nice dof so that the foreground stands away from the background. The colourful elements are well placed so as not to overwhelm the monochromatic pigeon and his "friend". Well observed!

excellent close framing, even if the dove wasn't there it was interesting
so with this dove, there is a little bonus

hi Wolfgang

How nice to get this close shot of the bird for a unique POV of the boat's front end.

The bird is very well placed in this composition to compliment the front end of interesting boat with good colorful contrast.

Obviously the bird gave you permission to shoot!

Good work.

Hi Wolfgang,
Fun scene. The sculpture bird looks quite surprised and scared of the approach. Unfortunately the pigeon doesn't have many means for different expressions. Looking at the droppings this bird is not the first one that made a visit...
Well framed closeup shot.

Hello Wolfgang,

I'm wondering to which one of the two you refer when you talk about a helpless pigeon :-). Well seen and a nice little detail of that head at the end of the roof beam as well.

hi Wolfgang,
a funny POV with this pigeon trying to get friend (or more...) with the decorating cock of the boat.
A good composition too, with the curved end of the boat in the middle of the picture.

You have a good eye for the humorous stuff, Wolfgang :-). I guess this pigeon is searching for a mate...this one won't certainly talk too much..., that glint of light in his eye makes a difference. The composition is well arranged, that statue seems almost alive, it's got a cheeky expression which adds to the whole. I might have redressed the perspective because of the graphics behind, which make it look a bit tilted. Like it a lot!

Take care
Michèle

Hallo Wolfgang,
Very well seen this funny scene, and caught impeccably in this framing.
I like its sharpness and the details that we can see in this close-up, and also the good luminosity and the chromatic quality of the composition.
Nice work.
Best regards,
Josep
