This Dove was a common species around the hotel, quite tame, obviously from the scraps & tit bits it got from messy dinners. :bg3: One of it's favourite haunts was on the rocks just outside the main restaurant. Oh, and yes, the sea really was that colour. :w3

Nice looking dove
I like the details on this and the colours look nice to the eye, the BG is superb colour
The Head angle looks nice , i love the colours on the feet.
I dig the ocean background, particularly where it gets darker towards the lower part of the frame. Dove looks excellent all teed up on the rock perch. Smartly composed image. No suggestions for improvement.
Magnificent image of commoner. Very nice colors ,details,perch,BG and composition.
Love the frame with pleasant colors.

Lovely image Steve, great colours and exposure. A little puzzled as to your choice of low ISO and SS? DOF is ok and there is plenty of detail where there needs to be, however a slightly greater DOF may have helped the fade off towards the end of the wing and tail.
Good call Brendon, should have be 1600 SS. :w3
Thanks folks for the kind comments
Looks quite alot like our Mourning Doves! Awesome dove image with a unique kind of perch for this type of bird. You made the best of it and everything works well. It would have been even better without the OOF rock creeping up behind the main perch in LRC.
It can be easily lost Daniel :bg3:Quote:

Yes, a dove, but a very handsome and well presented one. The perch is just the right luminosity for this scene, would be easy for it to go too bright.
Agree with Daniel about the trailing rock, but not a major issue for me.
BG has just enough tonal variation to work for me.
Cheers
