Low start.

The pigeon I saw prepared to fly like a sprinter on a treadmill in a low-start position.

Another second and the pigeon will lift off the surface of the earth, picking up speed and rush to its finish mark.

Photos taken with a program Camera MX.
I edited a photo in the program PhotoDirector, which I also installed on my smartphone.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
