    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.

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

    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.
