Pretty bird with those soft shades of tan to beige and grey...Colors go well with their soft cooing.

Beautiful detail in the feathers, Jim.  You also got a very sweet head turn.  It looks like you've found a very nice combination.

Good close-up look with fine feather detail.  The background colors work well with the dove's colors.
