Wood Pigeon head shot at farm pool
Tried the one third crop setting again with the Nikor 70-300 on full zoom. Seems to work quite well even on 1000 ISO
Nikon D7100

Crop from landscape
Neat image.

There's some really cool detail in the neck feathers on this bird, John. Wonderful colors. Do you know if the oval pupil is normal?

Exquisite detail here and the color is wonderful too. Stands out well against the background. A nice portrait overall.

Nice to see a common subject in a different light like you did here John. It makes us look at pigeons in a different way.
