After wintering in Mexico the White-winged Dove returned last week and was captured in our garden along with a few other strangers. Early morning light with sun not over the eastern peaks yet.
CC's always welcome & appreciated
PP included very minor crop, backgound change from grungy browns, blues & greens along with minimal LAB sharpening.

Gus - the bird looks nice and sharp and well exposed, with a good HA. I would prefer to not have the tree trunk. I can see quite a few artifacts of your BG manipulation - especially in front of the bird and to the left of the tree trunk.
