    Eared Dove III (Sorry)

    :D I am sorry but I have discovered so much beauty in these Doves that I have spent the last week or so working almost exclusively with them and the great thing is that I don't need to hide anymore, these Doves have gotten to know me so well that I can get up in a hurry and they will not care at all, in this case I wanted to share with you this Male courting (is that hte right word?), I think that when a male bird is courting he shows the best of him, and this guy surely did, I love this shot and I hope you like it too. Enjoy!

    It is a good looking bird Ramon and love the low angle Light is striking the bird just right making the feathers look their best If anything might like a more room? Excellent capture !!!

    Beautiful light , nice courting pose, and the low perspective is great. Love the bronzy feathers on the neck. The crop feels a little tight to me....would like a little more room in front and above.
