White-winged Dove in Peril.

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks;

Put this composite together from my archives and my experience here with doves and all hawks. The Harris's hawk as used here were around our place for years and now we have the Coopers, that have buzzed folks with dogs when they are nesting. Hawks and Hummingbirds are my favorites.

Comments always welcome and appreciated.

Keep smiling

Gus, I like the composite but I think it is the dove and cactus that really make the image special. I like the framing a lot also

Wonderful composition and lighting, Gus. The title really adds to the story of your main subject. I like the pensive pose.

Very cool Gus! I like the dark mood and the OOTB look to this. I see a tiny artifact around the top of the Dove's head. Love the lighting on the dove. Very nicely done.
