Crested Pigeons

[Pomgonewalkabout]

Greetings from South Australia.
It was a lovely misty start to the morning and a bit wet underfoot, which reminds me I must Dubbin my Blundstones.
A pair of Crested Pigeons enjoying the sunrise. They make a distinctive whistling call when they fly as air rushes over a modified feather on the wings. The noise reminds me of one of those flying rubber missile like toys that kids sometimes throw on the beach?

Welcome and nice image! Very cute and I like the haze.

Nice image. You posted in the critique section, so my comment would be that I’d have liked the birds framed 1/3 from the left edge as they’re facing right, and maybe zoom in 10% or so. But I like it.

Thanks for that.
Sorry I am still getting used to this forum. I recently purchased Steve’s book.
I value any feedback as I am always keen to learn.

For me, composition looks fine, as the bush is part of the composition.
It's more the fence that is disturbing me a little bit, but well... there's nothing you could do about it.

Looks really cosy and warm.

Mood is well captured.
