Caught this mourning dove in my back yard. I liked the perch and the vine along with the background.

Nice detail in the Dove, Jerry and I like the perch a lot.

Neat perch Jerry, very unique! I like this very much. I might move it a touch to the right in the frame to make the bird less centered.

I too like the vine climbing up the perch, but I feel the bird is too centered. If this were a crop you could bring some of the left side of the frame back in to allow a little 'breathing room' in front of the bird for a better composition.
