Immature Mourning Dove

I think this image is proof that great light, background and colors can transform an ordinary subject into a very pleasing image. Sometimes a simple image can be a great image. Processed using Lightroom 6 and Photoshop CC 2014 along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Excellent, Jerry. I've never seen such a stretched out dove. The detail in the plumage is outstanding. You might look at a vertical crop for this one, given the tallness of the dove.

Well done. I agree that nice light can do wonders. But this Mourning Dove has a lot of character.
