This Pigeon looked so nice with the sun shinning on him showing us his pretty colours up against the water of the St. Mary's River. This was taken today on my long walk (July 26, 2015) down on the Boardwalk heading over to the locks and Whitefish Island.

Used Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 to bring out more detail in his feathers on layer 2, on the base layer I cloned out a couple of distractions. Did not touch the colour at all. Also as usual I used iPiccy.com to downsize.

Thank You so much for your time, support and comments in advance.

Have a beautiful day, ♥ Skates ♥

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

EXcellent focus and details on the patiently waiting pigeon Pat. The blue sky as background makes it look very beautiful.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
