The light on this is perfect. Beautiful clarity on the bird and I love the soft background.

Nicely set off by all the green; pretty shades of blue and gold on the bird.

Isn't is neat how birds instinctively position themselves directly behind something that will mess up the shot? Really nice DOF, and the feather detail is great! Bokeh is beautiful as well.

Nice rich greens in the surrounding vegetation...perfect background blur to set off that crisp detail in the dove. Well done!
