This is what my pingwings look like.
You may like them or not like them. They haven't been cut and modified.
I like them, anyway.

He's the White Flight Thone'
Greetings from the land down under.
Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for verily, he shall not be disappointed.

Good photos that had been taken in the time zone, these are photos for good memories sake. From birds that raced very well, and should be remembered. The Photo shop are being done for a purpose of selling, myself I don't see anything wrong in that myself. each to their own way of promoting.
This photo used for example.
Nice photos Devo but as you say the photo shop is being done for selling and you see nothing wrong in that
That’s probably the main reason I don’t like them I guess, it’s not that they don’t look nice just seems a bit fake and wrong in a way to do that to sell
Niel this is away of promoting your birds, and I must say. If they look this good when I visit the loft to buy. well I am on a winner. In my time of buying birds, research then visit loft, handle the birds and at all times observation and questions to the owner. If I thought they were the right ones. They left with me.
Trouble is most sales on the internet are 5 day jobs so your trusting a fake photo if your buying that way which I think most do these days .
I would say just on the two main auction sites here 100’s are sold weekly and I don’t see many people doing the loft visits in the time frame
I have fell for it myself I moved one on within 3 hours of the box arriving more fool me
Yes he is a very good pigeon.
Of course you have to take my word for it.
This is the problem. I could tell you he is a 53 time Fed winner and father of all sorts of winners. He isn't, but you don't know that.

Neil I agree with you, but at the same time it is promoting the racing pigeon sport. Before I left for Germany the last trip. I was working on where I wanted to buy birds from for the German classic OLR. I had offers from top flyers over there to breed me some youngsters. In the end I chose to Visit Christoph and Leon, and I do feel I chose well. I would say a great family to visit , and top quality birds to choose from. I have to add, very nice a visit I enjoyed and sharing information about the sport in different countries.....

I don’t mean I dislike any particular fanciers fake photos Devo I wasn’t even thinking of Leon
I just don’t think they should be used for internet only sales
I couldn’t care what people hang on there wall they can colour them
In however they like but selling is different to me

Yes Neil I fully understand your point, and like I always say. we all have different views, and that what makes the sport. also keeps the site alive with good points of view.
