The intense pigeon

I don’t much like pigeons, although I find their iridescent color beautiful. Taken at Gravelly Point, where there were hundreds to choose from.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

First sign of spring, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/400s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Intensity isn't an attribute I'd normally associated with domestic pigeons, but this one sure has "the look".

Love the focal point here, showing the iridescences of the neck feathers.

You're right- it does look pretty intense. Gotta love that eye though and the nice uncluttered background to show it against.
