Stunning image of a bird I rarely pay attention to in my own backyard.

Great job!

Wow, the colors on that guy are something else. Charles said it ... very nice capture of a "common" bird. I really never stopped to look at those colors!

Great image of a common bird. Always nice to see people seeing the more common species. it takes an image like this to appreciate their beauty.

I love that foot.
Excellent job seeing the beauty in these guys.

Great Mourning Dove image. The muted light, grey BG, and neat colouration of the subject all make for a very nice image. I'd only tone down the top part of the perch.

Simple design but looks very nice, Joel. Love the pose and colours.
