Lovely blue face and QUITE the hairdo. Well captured. Looks like he's staring into space while he desperately tries to remember something ;-)

What an amazingly unlikely bird - never seen anything like it before! Good choice for the challenge.

That is by far the coolest pigeon I've ever seen. Definition and color are fantastic. Beak slightly out of focus, however I think that is a minor complaint here.

that is one crazy looking pigeon. I the background doesn't work too well for me but you probably didn't have control of that.

Stunning bird. I've never seen it before, thanks for sharing! I do think the composition is cramped. I look at the red eye, and then the beak drags my eye out of the frame. Maybe it's just me. Lovely lighting, actually it appears to be perfect. Great choice of aperture. I like it!
