They have beautiful eyes and you captured that very well here. Great detail on this dove and the branches frame him very nicely here. They don't reside in the region where I live so whenever I do see them in my travels I find them an interesting change from the birds I usually see. Very nicely captured, Yves.

Thank you Heather.

I love the light and composition, Yves. That species of bird is quite a nuisance here, so I am not a big fan of them, but it looks good in this shot.

Yves Langlois

Agree with you about the nuisance of the bird Jane, but we are talking photography here.

Debra Plett

Very nice composition and details Yves. I agree the blue around the eye is very pretty. Nice pose and the tree branches provide nice texture.

Yves Langlois

Thank you for the appreciated comment Debra. I like that shot for the same reasons that you say.

Clifford Dupuis

Very nice shot of this Dove with great detail and isolation against the pale blue sky. Well done Yves

Yves Langlois

Thank you Clifford. I love that pale blue eye.
