Pigeon

Posted by Arco-Íris (Leiria, Portugal) on 30 September 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Hei! Alfacinha! Lembraste dela? Até ficou bonitinha :) ou será da fotógrafa? Estou a ficar convencida não é?!
"Por morrer uma andorinha não acaba a Primavera." ;)
E enquanto virmos o sol despertar atrás dos montes e o laranja subir no céu à tardinha a VIDA vale a pena. Um enorme abraço.

J'aime pas trop l'oiseau, car c'est un fléau des villes! mais de temps en temps, il est possible de faire une jolie photo.
Bonne journée.

baobab from Cambridge, United States

this is an interesting composition with nice detail of the feather texture.

birds often have very subtle variations in their colouring, so I half-wonder how it would look in colour, perhaps a treatment to desaturate but still keep some of the tone(?)
[I have no idea how to do this myself... but imagine that others do! :)]

No céu há tardinha?!? Ou será no céu à tardinha? No céu costuma haver nuvens... :) Desculpa lá, mas há erros de palmatória que me deixam com os cabelos em pé, estilo ligas-te em vez de ligaste ou penduras-te em vez de penduraste. É claro que também pode ter sido uma distracção...

1 Oct 2008 2:16pm

@Gonçalo: Olá! Não não foi uma distracção! Eu tenho sempre dificuldade com essas palavras. E tenho-a cada vez mais... acho que é de ver tanto erro.
Tu deves ficar giro com os cabelos em pé! Aposto que sim! :)
mas acabaste ( lá está não sei se está bem escrito) por não comentar a foto! :)

Gonçalo from Lisboa, Portugal

Tu nem me queiras ver com os cabelos em pé, hehe. Quanto à foto, o enquadramento está interessante com o pombo a a ocupar um lado da imagem, mas o foco está no peito do pombo em vez de estar no olho/cabeça. Nada de grave tendo em conta que é dificil acertar com estes bichos nervosinhos sempre a mexerem-se

1 Oct 2008 3:14pm

@Gonçalo: :) Tens toda a razão! Eu sei que devmos focar os olhos, mas isso... ui!
