good shot. Never would have guessed you could get a good in-flight shot of a pigeon until I visited NYC recently and noticed they were the size of CHICKENS!!!

Well, that's something we don't get to see very often here, a flying pigeon. Wonderful captures, Harvey!

Since I live in the "boondocks" and seldom see a pigeon close up... I rather enjoy their images, especially the iridescent feather shots... but these shots take the maligned pigeon to a whole different level :) excellent work my friend.....

Beautiful Harv, the detail is outstanding for a PIF.
