Collared Dove

[Dr.Pranay Rao Juvvadi]

Quite a shy species to get close to, but this one was a bit confiding and allowed me a couple of pictures.

Canon 1D Mark III with Canon 500 f/4

1/800, f/7.1, Evaluative Metering, Aperture Priority, ISO 640, +1/3 EC

I like the angle, pose, BG and eye contact. Sharpness looks good, too, I might crop a tad off the top and maybe add a bit canvas on the left.

[Mark Medcalf]

Excellent pose and composition against the plain BG.

I loved this pose and the Bg is buttery .. So Beautiful .. about space I too will echo Axel

[Dr.Pranay Rao Juvvadi]

Included more space on the left and took off a bit on top. How does it look now?

[Harshad Barve]

[Paolo Piazza]

very nice BG and very nice perch too; I would like to see the bird a little bit darker
congratulations!

[Joerg Rockenberger]

Definitely needs tighter crop from the top. In fact I'd have cropped closer from the left, top (a lot) and right.

Great sharpness and colors. JR

The repost sure looks better Dr., Loved the Pose, details and BG. my personel choice would be add some canvas down... still I loved this image.. congrats..

[Mital Patel]

Thanks for the appreciation John. I did not take out more space from the top, as the frame was looking a bit too long, horizontally.
