Pigeon Sunbathing @ CentralPark

ahandre · 5th August 2007

I was strolling on Central Park - NY, and found this pigeon out below tree shadows. She picked a spot with summer-sun shined the grounds.

It was hot-day where lots of people had sun-bathe @ Central Park, and it seems pigeon loved that too, in the middle of "woods" and "fields" where lights beamed down.

Taken with 50mm f/1.8

The pigeon is too small to be the main subject, if you ask me.
I see you are using 50mm lens, it's not easy taking close-ups of birds without scaring them away with that.
