Nice clean shot with a prickly (if that's a word) perch and uncluttered background. Not the drama of your last post, but still fun to see birds not generally seen. Thanks for posting.

A cool looking dove, Sandy. I like the head turn and the thorny perch. Was this a large crop-the larger image seems to look like it.

Nice look at this beautiful dove, Sandy. Great pose and very nice light. There seems to be a little loss of detail in the larger post.

Good composition, the eye is drawn to the fork in the tree. He gave you a nice head turn and eye contact. Perhaps a little more detail in blacks?
