Mourning Dove

I was really surprised to see that this bird was not at all bothered with my presence for quite some time!!

This is one lovely image. It is a pitty about the twig extending to cover the bird's wing. The deep shadow helps give form to the bird though there does appear to be a sharpening halo.

Nice light, head angle, and BG. Looks to be slightly over sharpened on my monitor. Agree about the twig. I might darken the bright area in the URC.

Dough/Adrian - Thanks for your suggestions. I agree with the you that it is slightly over sharpened
