Hi Gus
Nice bg; color complements the dove very nicely. Bird is sharp, well exposed, good color depth.
I am not a fan of overhead birds, looking down at me (too dangerous - :) ), but otherwise this is very lovely
Cheers

Hi Gus - Like the colours - just the steep shooting angle for me :)

Hi Gus other than the angle you got it all covered !!! Sweet !!!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Nice and sharp and nicely composed. I know steep angles are verboten but I actually don't mind it in this shot for some reason:)

Very nice image, Gus. I like the BG color and agree it compliments the bird well.
