Natural Monday: Pigeon

It’s not everyday you get up close and personal with a pigeon, and also some time for portraits and side shots..lol but i did and i was so lucky that day. This is a local bird specie and even through it’s a pigeon its real name is The Laughing Dove Pigeon (I’ve never seen one smile much less laugh so the name has never made sense to me), maybe it was a joke amongst the Ornithologists. (- its a branch of zoology that concerns the study of birds)

Moving Portraiture

Juxtaposing man and a mountain was the idea for this images. Can they conquer by sheer pose or will it be a try unto futility.

It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.

Looking into his eyes; big, black and so free, i wonder what must be going through that little untapped mind as he gazes at me focused.
