a nice snowy setting, Bill. the light wasn't really working in your favor here.

A very tough exposure, Bill, with the sun on the snow and the Dove shadowed. You might selectively brighten the Dove a touch to help mitigate that. Nice pose and winter feeling to this image.

Your dove is giving you a very nice look back with a nice view of those side feathers. I agree with the others regarding the lighting. You did capture the granular snow nicely...my snow never shows up too well! I'm not a flash user myself, but wonder if flash would have helped brighten the bird a bit. Looking at the bg, I see a little bit of vertical banding??? Was this taken through a window? It's always a pleasure seeing these gentle birds at my feeders! Thanks for sharing! Sharon

Bill, my first impressions are that you handled the snow very well, and that the light was working against you here. It jus doesn't "pop" any color on the dove. I wonder what this one would look like converted to black and white. Just a thought.
