It's not all about you!

This pigeon may have thought he was the subject of my photo yesterday morning. He'd be wrong. In truth, I saw the golden leaves of the beech tree at the bottom of our garden, and knew they'd make a nice backdrop. Pigeon was just in the right place at the right time. :-)

Nice focus some distance away, it looks like!

oh they are really lovely, but then the pigeon ain't half bad either 😊

@maggiemae Yes it's a very tall Douglas Fir, so I took it from our upstairs window with my big zoom lens!

Great combined capture

I'm envious of your Canon!

Super autumnal shades. Pigeon looks affronted...as if he's been rumbled ;-)

Lovely golden leaves and the pigeon is a bonus

The pigeon got his 5 minutes of fame! Stunning golden brown colours.

It mightn't be the subject but it certainly adds to the great shot :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Wonderful contrast of color. I think the pigeon adds to it. The colors might not be so dramatic without him balancing them out. Good shot!
