Common Dove in open forest, taken in May, 2011.I like the pose, so thought to share it.
Two branches, one near the wing and other above the head are cloned. Darker areas on right side are toned down. Cropped, sharpened and NR applied to BG.
Good advice by Randy. I will add that with the bird looking to our right it would have been better to have more room that way (subject a bit more to the left). Head looks a bit soft, perhaps a bit more sharpening there for web presentation. Love the scaling feathers, and you got some nice colours.
