Description

This beautiful Band-tailed Pigeon is a regular visitor to our acreage in South West British Columbia, Canada. The original background was too distracting so I blurred it using Photoshop Elements 6.

Exif: F Number: 3.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/160 seconds, Flash: did not fire, auto mode, ISO: 100, FocalLength: 67.50 mm, Model: KODAK P850 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA

Super job on the original capture -- great lighting and detail -- and on the background treatment, Maureen. Wish I could do as well -- I always get bleeding when I try :( #8895787

Every month, with our camera in hand, we go out and find what we hope will be the “winning photo.”
Those of us that don’t get recognized, just continue to search for that special image, until one day the Congratulations come pouring in from some of the best artist and friends anyone could image.
So to the Better Photo winners for the month of September, I congratulate you on a job so well done.
My very best to all of you, Merna Nobile

Many thanks extened to Michelle, Jack, snne, Nikki, Liz and Merna for your ever welcome comments and your time. I so appreciate it and hope you are having a wonderful season!

It was result of being a member of BetterPhoto, admiring so many artist's talents behind the lense and their fantastic presentations that motivated me to keep working at giving Digital Darkroom a priority when any of my captures of birds were hampered by distracting backgrounds. #8977193

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
