On one of my trips to photograph animals, this wood pigeon, beautiful in its feathers, stayed very still on the post. With a dark green pine forest in the distant background, I was able to take the photo so that it looks like the wood pigeon is detached in the picture.
Each time I am surprised at how beautiful an ordinary, common bird, like this wood pigeon, can be.
Because of moments and opportunities like this, I continue to count nature photography as my greatest hobby.
