Saw these two pigeon's up on the highwire Hi_there

I could swear I heard the white one Say_do_yah_think

Before I knew it look what they were doin!! Mmmmm

This guy said; Man! Can't even eat in peace around here! Woodpecker

shot with the canon Xti with canon 70-300mm @ 300mm, 1/500, f8.0, iso @ 800 and hand held which is why it is a little soft. Got a few pixels in there too. It was set on automatic. A lower ISO and faster shutter would have made it sharper.
Also a little PS Elements 5 just playing around kind of work.

    Nice shots, good exposure. Good work in PS, but I thought the woodpecker shot looked a little artificial.

    Enjoyed these, and I thought I was the only one gone to the birds. Those guys were high up, you did good to reach out and get them. A lower ISO would have been an improvement, IMO. I like the woody, too.

    Where were these taken? Did you have to wait long for these birds to warm up? I loved the sense of serenity in these portrayals of nature. Very coo-l! (Thank you for reminding me that love has gone to the birds! haha) Reets :)

    Mr Q, the only things done to mr W was to crop a bit and use the filter/render/lighting in PS E. Maybe a little sharpening. Do you think I should not have made the right side so dark? Ms. M, I doubt that they are warm now, these were taken last August up in CT., and I was wondering where love had gone! Thanks, Y'all for your comments.

    - So shoot already!!
