Crested Pigeon by terryliv

Crested Pigeon

Also known as the Top Knot Pigeon.
Another shot taken with the Tamron, hand held at 300mm. Very happy with the outcome. Still struggling so nothing more imaginative than a bird from the backyard.
Definitely best on black
Great shot of this interesting bird. Love the green on his wing and the crest. You certainly have a variety of beautiful birds there in Australia. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Wonderful detail Terry!! That new lens is coming into it's own!! Has the bird got a broken beak? It looks like it has lost the end. Fav for this lovely shot!!

Have you ever tried the get-pushed challenge. Some one issuing you a challenge each week could give you inspiration. Or how about trying some techniques like low key or high key. Stepping outside your comfort zone can get the juices flowing. Just saying.
By the way this bird reminds me of a comedian I just can't think of a name.

Even though they're a very common and sometimes uninteresting bird, they are still quite pretty.

I like @joansmor 's suggestion to join Get Pushed, I loved it while I was participating and will probably join again when I get home.

Lovely shot Terry. They are such funny birds. I love the way they chase each other around our garden. They look like something out of a Benny Hill sketch.
