Turtle Dove bathing

Turtle Dove
Certainly few and far between these days.
At the open pool
Not been able to use the forest pool for months as there's water every where.
Usual set up.

Hi John good detail, but it looks a tad warm overall IMHO. Perhaps cloning out the blades of grass too might help behind he Dove?

Steve

Hi Stephen
All the pictures I do at this site look as you say "warm". The thing is they are , because its in a quarry where the sand is actually red , derived from the old red sandstone.It certainly does alter the colour.
(I'm colour blind anyway ! )
Cheers

Hi John,

Beautiful image! Superb pose and feather detail! Another top image!

A lovely image of yet another bird I've never seen.

Tim

Fine shot John!!

Similar earth in my area also.........more attractive than brown mud.

Lovely bird, and you have shown it perfectly



Alan

Very, very nice. A bird, I too have never seen in the wild.

Sadly rarely seen but often heard-used to get them near my house in france and have seen them in the Jura mountains here-a little grainy or has artifacts but a lovely image and one i would like to have

Dave

Thanks all.
Dave- it will have artis and grain as its heavily compressed. I had a wonderful time at the expense of the French Forestry dept in the French part of the Jura some years back and then went back with the trailer tent later for a holiday. Wonderful area.
