I like the iridescent plumage on the nape of these guy’s necks and this close up shows it some. D500, Nikon 200-500 lens, Nikon 1.4 TC, hand held, 1/5000th, f 8…0, ISO 1600, AI Clear, cropped to 5568 x 3712

I like the iridescent plumage as well, Dave. I real nice look at this pigeon. Nice details and color. I like that we get a look at his back, but have the head turn so we get the profile of his head too.

The iridescence shows up well and the overall colors on the pigeon makes for a great shot.

AI clear did good , nice sharp image and definitely a great example of how speed is a photographers friend. Shutter speed that is.

Hi Dave. You really did a good job of capturing the iridescence of that neck plumage. In this case, I don’t really care for what AI Clear did. The detailed plumage looks a bit smeared to my eye.
