Hi,

I know that this is not the best photo out there, but it is something that I managed to capture. This is a pair of white pigeons in Iraqi Kurdistan that I happened to see.

IMAGE: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7395/11403289653_d6f2f428ce_b.jpg

It is a crop from the original on maximum zoom on my Canon Powershot. Manual mode: 1/1000 and ISO 80.

If you could give me any C&C, I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Naddie

I think you did a really good job. I like the fact that you got all of the body parts in the frame, and the wings add a lot to the photo. If I was to change anything, I would clone out the bird poop!

Thank you SJC for your advice. I wasn't sure whether I should clone out the bird droppings because it would have changed the photo. I will do that though. :)

I use Photoshop Elements which would make that an easy fix, without changing the look of the photo. If you do fix it, you should share the result here...but don't delete the original. It's nice to be able to see both versions.
