Though a common bird, they can be colorful and I liked the contrasting colors in this one.

Hi Allen,
They are common, but under certain circumstances can make an interesting subject. I would tame the whites down a bit as the area around the base of the bill have no detail left. I like the pose and the direction of the head turn.......................Jim

Hi Allan, I actually like the iridescent feathers of pigeons and think they get a bad rap. I do find hte BG o this image a little distracting (mainly on the right side because of the transition from dark to bright) as it tends to pull ny eyes right and competes with the subject a little. Nits already mentioned regarding the whites.

Really nice colors, Allen, and a sweet pose. I agree with Jim and Kurt on the other issues.
