Camera? Nice clean light for the main but a bit contrasty overall. Perhaps could be a wider crop left and top and some dodging down the left of the bird.

Nice details and I like the feathers showing on the back of the neck. Wish for eye contact and I too feel it's too tight with the bottom of the bird cut off. Cloning artifacts top of frame. I just did a browswer scroll up from the bottom and kind of like a square crop here. Definitely keep working at this....has much potential in my opinion.

A bit tight and not the best HA. Well done otherwise. They should be pretty tame for you to practice with.
I love these doves, we have a pair at our place that nest about twice a year
