PS Did think about the twigs needing something but then I suppose they do frame the bird somewhat.

The bird has an almost startled look. Yes the twigs aren't ideal, but I don't find them a major distraction

Nice look at this Dove, John! Excellent detail. The twigs don't bother me, I agree that they frame the Dove.

I agree that the twigs frame the dove. Wonderful focus and detail and colors in the larger image.
