!!!

I love your portrait of the doo, Rosa. The shallow depth of field is very effective in making the subject pop from the background. Cheers, Joe

Thank you Joe. As I was getting closer and closer to the bird, I thought it would fly away, but it just stared at me!! Cheers, Rosa.

What a beautiful close-up.

Thank you very much Jaap.

Une belle capture remarquable,un peu curieux ce beau pigeon..!

Bon Weekend.

Thank you very much Malik :)
Have a lovely weekend.

A very funny look indeed Rosa! :-))
And a successful portrait of a pigeon, too!
Though I must admit I don’t like pigeons much, there are too many in Milan making everything dirty...:-(

Thank you dear Adele.
We probably have too many pigeons everywhere over here, but I can't help liking them. I even feed them in my garden. They are very sweet really ;-))
I hope you have a good weekend.

An excellent capture Rosa\. Thankyou for posting to FFF.
Have a good day.

Thank you very much Jeff.
Wish you a good weekend.

A very nice picture, Rosa !

Thank you very much Ulrich.
Have a good weekend.

Pigeons have wings, but they walk a lot ...

Yes they do...and very slowly! So many times I have almost run one over when driving.

Hello you !!!!!

He says hello Marie-claire ;-))

What a lovely portrait, great capture, Rosa . Wish you a fine weekend !

Thank you very much Percy.
Hope you have a good weekend also.

Pigeons are much underrated in my opinion...............the really are quite beautiful when you look closely. This one looks like a fine, healthy specimen.

I like it's pose too.........almost as if it knows you're taking a photo. You've captured it in beautiful detail . An excellent shot!

Glad to hear you've had a good week............I hope you enjoy the weekend as well. I've been meaning to go to Monkey World for a ages, but something always seems to come up. This year it was a pandemic :-))

I can't help liking them Keith :-) This one was at Radipole Lake in Weymouth. Unfortunately the lovely information cottage is still closed. Sophie had a couple of them feeding from her hand!

My daughter has booked the Monkey World tickets for tomorrow, and they have their rules for the moment. If it's a good as Weymouth was on Friday, I won't mind. It is a great place to visit. If you ever do go, stay until feeding time...it's hilarious! To think that most of them are rescued, they now have a lovely life in the Dorset countryside.

Take care and have a nice weekend.

Enjoy your day with Sophie tomorrow Rosa. Thanks for the feeding time tip!

Prachtige Close-up Rosa

Thank you very much Fred.
Enjoy your weekend.

I like pigeons too. This one looks very interested in you and your camera and as if it would like to have a chat. Nice to hear you have been having a good week. Enjoy Monkey World.

Thank you Jean. I think it must have been wondering if I had any food to share....I did ;-))
I'm just going to read the present rules for today's visit. Good weather so far.
Have a great day.

A great capture of an inquisitive bird, it looks like a hybrid it's certainly not a wood pigeon, I hope that it is drier than to day for your outing tomorrow Rosalyn enjoy it

Thank you for your kind comment Peter. There were lots of this colour. I will upload a picture of one feeding from Sophie's hand in the week. Good weather here so far. Sunday greetings.

coucou *************belle fin de soirée mon amie !

Thank you dear Angelique :-))
Sunday greetings,
Bisous.

Es una paloma veterana, bien formada. A veces tienen un mirar ladeado, que parece interrogante. Aquí, por ejemplo, podría estar preguntándose “¿Qué vas a hacer?”, por ti, aunque por su leve inclinación podría también decir “No me vas a hacer nada malo, ¿Verdad?” Esta fotografía es muy fiel a la realidad.

I have a picture also of the sideways glance. Maybe they are glad to see us again after lock-down :) Thank you for your kind comments. I did reward them with some food for allowing the picture to be taken ;-) Sunday greetings.

What a great shot Rosa, he's posing for you..:) he's really a handsome fella... well done. Sarah

Thank you Sarah. We don't get them that colour in my garden!
Sunday greeting and best wishes, Rosa.

Coo, coo

:-))

Thank you William.
Have a good new week.

Oh il a pris la pose, il est magnifique ... bravo Rosa.***************

Thank you Jocelyne. I think he was hoping I had food :)

A very nice portrait, this pigeon is looking at you quite astonished ; ) should be in the group

Ha ha....I am only astonishing to a pigeon ;-))

Interrogative ...
Perhaps he is waiting for some bread ?

Yes....where is my food!! ;-))
Have a good week dear Christiane.

***************

;o))

:)....it looks like it´s going to welcome you in a very friendly way....and I also like the background, Rosa...glitter, stones and stripes :)

Thank you for your lovely comments dear Tanja.
He was keeping an eye on me! :)

I think he looks inquisitive, Rosa. In fact he's looking down to your jeans/skirt/ shorts. maybe he was attracted by the wild colour scheme. ;-))))

He was very close to me Amelia and was following me with his gaze! I have never had that from a pigeon before ;-))

Haha, I hope you returned the funny look;-) An excellent portrait!

I couldn't help smiling Gudrun....then went for the camera!

Great shot Rosa! Admiring his/her reflection in your camera lens perhaps!

Yes probably Doug. Very vain ;-))

Wow,das ist ja eine grandiose Aufnahme liebe Rosa und wie höflich sie dir da in die Kamera schaut,perfekt mit den Details hast du sie fotografiert :))

Wünsche noch ein schönes Wochenende,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))
