Good DOF and nice detail on the dove. Might play around with crop.

pity the bird is flying out of the frame and not into it. nice colours

His coat looks like velvet and he really has nice coloring. I wish you had cropped in some so we could have had a better look. I find the red ball's alittle distracting. But you have a great DOF in this shot that makes the bird stand out nicely.

Love the color, DOF and the quality of the focus, I just wish the bird was further to the left in the image.

Great capture. You have managed to stop the bird dead and sharp. I would have cropped close on this. I normally love the negative space(and use it), but with the different colours in your bqackground, it becomes a distraction. The DOF is good to try and eliminate them, but the large brown fence across the image doesn't help it

I'm not sure if the background blur was done during post-shot editing, but I think it really helps the bird stand out and make more of an impact. I really like this one.

Very beautiful

Another highly detailed and technically perfect image, although it would do with a little more cropping on the right - that would be a personal choice however and as it is, it's wonderful. Beauty, grace and style in a motion capture that would is the envy of many photographers. An image suitable for Aududon in any format. Well done.

well done freezing the motion. If I had to ask for one thing: I wish the dove was in the right side of your shot. BUT it's easier said than done. I know. Spot on focus

Love the colours.
