i chased this pigeon for more than 30 minutes back and forth on the roof of my house. He wouldn't fly away or sit still much. Just kept walking away from me. I really needed a telephoto. I managed to get within a foot for this shot.

there is something really different and amazing about this. I think there is a human quality to the bird that makes him/her more emotional or something. The crop is perfect and the pole in the dstance --- just very unique and well done. The title doesn't matter but I would call it something more dramatic. I'd be curious to know where / how this was taken. PS: I hope the bird is real :) ... 9
wow. This is such a beautiful image. Perhaps next time adding some more negative space would have improved this type of photo, but bird don't exactly sit around and model. : ) Nice work.
Great silhouette. I like the power lines in the background. On my monitor, at least, there appears to be a little grain in the clouds on the left. I'm not sure that I like that too much, as it seems to jar a little when compared to the cleanliness of the silhouette itself. That said, it's still a very appealing shot and worthy of a good score.
wow, I never noticed that pigeons had such sharp beaks...
nice composition here, good use of shapes and space-
I think if there were still some detail on the bird, this photo would be stronger.
at first i didn't think much of this shot. "On another silhouette shot, what ever". then i looked at it again and i realized it was a close up silhouette of a pigeon head. Damn, you don't see that often. I like the post in back adn the light is good.
