One of our small ground doves - quite common up in the northern states.
Thanks for looking, Greg.

very nice Greg, sweet light pose and details. wonderful image! I am tempted to clone out or blend the relatively sharp edges of the oof grass in the upper left border.

Greg they certainly are cracking little Doves, the light on this is lovely ,very nice indeed.

The eye has it!
Nice light and colors. The environment has a painterly feel to it.
I agree with cloning out the OOF grass on the left and would also get rid of the green blade of grass intersecting with his cloacal area.
The scalloped feathers on the breast look awesome and the light is lovely.
Extra points for your low POV!

I agree with the suggestions you got. Love the blue eye and bill. Great low angle too.
