This wood pigeon was sitting very relaxed on the ridge of the low roof. Completely at ease, he kept posing so I had time enough to get the best perspective and an almost perfect silhouette photo of the creature.
The conifers in the distant background were sufficiently far away to allow them to be completely blurred in the photo as the background. This made the wood pigeon stand out sharply in the photo, drawing attention primarily to the pigeon's eye and beautiful lightly ruffled feathers.
Such a common bird and yet . if you just take a moment to look closely and consciously at the creature it becomes special again.
