    Default Peaceful Dove

    These are small (~20cm) doves and I made this image on a recent working trip to Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park in far NW Queensland, Australia.



    50D 100-400 @ 400, 1/200, Av f10, iso auto @ 250, 430EXII -1 1/3, HH.
    Unfortunately there was a fairly distracting bit of oof foliage in the bottom RH fg and I have made a poor attempt to get rid of it. I have quite a bit to learn yet in the PP department.

    These little doves are lovely and often challenging as they move quickly while foraging. You have a lovely pose and I really like the spotlit effect with the darker BG. I bit of a crop and cleanup would be an option if so inclined.

    Thanks Tony, I am inclined to the tighter crop! I guess it is the difference between showing just the bird or giving some habitat context.
