Hi Angshuman,
Great shot, really good sharpness and focus on the birds!
All the colours in the photo blend well.
I did a small workshop for I thought it could be slightly more colourful with a small touchup. Hope you dont mind.
Many Regards

Hi Angshu
I like the way you have captured the pigeons creating a kind of pattern in front of the impressive mosque. Very nice architectural details with great sharpness, colors and a good framing. The blue sari is an eye catcher and adds a touch of color.
Cheers

Hello Angshuman,
This is a fine shot! Although obviously a lot of movement, your shot is sharp and clear. I love the colours as well. It is a very busy picture, but it works well!
kind regards,
Bev :-)

I thought this was going to be good from the thumbnail and I am not disappointed. I love the way you have managed to freeze the pigeons in flight without too much motion blur to spoil the lovely architecture behind. You have created a 3D appearance with the background as sharp as the pigeons. Very good work

Hi Angshu - for some reason this reminds me of San Marco piazza in Venice, it's probably the pigeons and the domes, nice architecture, the frame full of birds makes the shot work.

hello Angshu
sometimes we can see on TE photos with a lot of birds, but it's chaotic, not in this one as we can see the pigeons all flying in the same direction, with the beautiful BG it's a very good looking composition, light & colours are good, good timing ;)

Hello Angshuman,
It's a great moment to capture the pigeons's flight, The Jama Masjid architecture as background looks beautiful, maybe you have a full image of the masjid. Great job, Angshu. tfs

It is a fantastic sense of life and movement in this shot. The birds are very sharp and the f8 & 1/400 worked very well to freeze the moment. Well done.

Hi Angshu
I like the tight framing, concentrating more on the flight of pigeons, than on the monument itself, still with a good view at it... Colors and sharpness are fine... A pleasant image

The architecture in India is beautiful. I find so many different styles by looking at pictures of this great country. Your picture shows a very nice daily scene. The pigeons flying on a plaza against the fine details of the mosque on the back add a nice touch to the image. Nice light and colours. Thanks Angshu.

Bonjour, cher Angshu,
Apparemment, il n'y a pas que Rome, Paris et autres grandes villes où les pigeons s'en donnent à coeur joie.
Cette envolée de volatiles valorise davantage l'ensemble de la composition, les édifices prennent une autre dimension.
Félicitations.
Amitiés.

Hello Angshu,
I wonder why pigeons have adapted so well to city life, as I know no other birds have managed that!
A fine capture with pleasant motion blur, well framed with good colours and details!

Hi Angshuman. Great photo. The colours give this shot a “hand painted B&W photo” look. Well timed and composed. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Angshu,
good work to capture detail in both the flurry of pigeons and the dome. Everytime I try this on or the other is too blurry. HLJ, Pat

Angshuman,
I love this shot a lot and all the pigeons, people and arches reminds me a lot of a very similar scene at the most well known Piazza San Marco in Venice. It could be the the indian counterpart of this more than romantic place.
TFS, Peter

Hi Angshuman,
the thumbnail of your photo, at first sight, has seemed me that he was of the Piazza di San Marco in Venezia. When opening the image I have seen that the architecture is different, and that I was mistaken.
But I like the photo, the doves raising the flight in the middle of people create a great dynamic effect.
Beautiful photo, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

Very nice view of this flight of pigeons in front of the minaret. Nice colors, good sharpness, but perhaps a little tilt on the left.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Unusual crop where everything is cut : the mosque, the walkers, the pigeons... Makes it strange and I'm interested in thinking at such a choice. Thanks for that...

PS : I should be there in August. Would be fun to meet !

Hi Angshi, I had to think of my first morning in Delhi seeping in the atmosphere at the Jama Masjid, trying to beat off jetlag, you may remember my upload. The flight of pigeons layers the frame nicely for you.

Good weekend,

If it wasn't the India, I could say that this scenery is Venice, Italy...that mosque that reminds in some way to San Marco Basilica, and the doves flying...is how to say?...Venetian Image.
I like it, Angshuman.

Have a nice day.
