    Default White-winged Dove

    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.

    D500, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 2000, 1/640s @ f/6.3 manual.

    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.
