Captured in McAllen, TX in November of 2017. I tried a version where I cloned out the cactus on the left, but decided to leave it in, since it gave some clue to the bird's South Texas location.

Neat looking dove. I like the cactus here. The pose on the bird is nice as well as the details.
Love, love the pose of this little cutie. IQ is excellnt.
Perch looks good- just not crazy about the stuff on the left. Too bad you could not move to your left to get rid of that stuff.

Nice adult bird :) The leaves bother me more than the cactus. Sharp with a nice alert pose and a perfect head angle.
Very nice. Love the detail and pose. The BG shows the habitat.

I really like these birds and the pose you captured here has lots of personality. Makes for a very eye grabbing image. I'm not crazy about the cactus in the back but I think the leaves in front of that have too much NR applied and they look a bit odd. Shame as the bird is sweet. Just shows how hard it is to get all of the elements to line up for a shot.
Thank you all. Just for comparison, here's the Dove without the BG vegetation.
I like the re-post with out without the BG vegetation.
Nice Head Angle. I like sharp eye as well.
