GOOD HEAVENS: A DOVE

Friends, I present a simple composition today.
At the early stages of my experimentation with the new equipment, I tried my Sigma 70-300mm in different situations including this one.
A Laughing Dove was perched on the parapet wall of my house roof with nothing else but the blue sky behind it on a clear desert morning.
The picture was shot in shutter priority mode at 1/1250 and I liked the outcome.

Hope you like it too.

Regards to all.

Hi Ram,
I really like the simplicity of this photo. The white painted wall and the blue sky make it look rather absract. Which makes it even more beautiful. The Dove gets this way the full attention. Great control on the exposure and details.

Hi Ram,
Beutiful this plain image!
I like so much the simple proposal of this dove against the blue sky.
The image is pretty well composed, I like the down-right appearance of the subject.
It has a lot of visual impact.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hello Ram,
Nice result from your experiment. No sign of over exposure even with white wall and bright blue sky. Crisp clear picture. Regards,
JC

Hello Ram,
Sometimes simple can be beautiful. This presentation of the Laughing Dove is sharp and clear, the white wall and blue sky composition complimenting the dove between the blue and the white.
Very pleasing image.
TFS,
All the best, Ivan

Hello Ram,
Nice to see the front of this Dove too and in very sharp focus! I love the colours of the plumage and it looks extra special against the blue and white. Very beautiful plain composition!
Many thanks, Ulla

Estupenda composición, con un POV bastante inusual.
Bellos colores los de esta serena paloma. Buen BG.
Saludos, JL.

Bonjour Ram
Félicitations pour cette belle capture. L'éclairage est parfait et fait bien ressortir les couleurs et les détails de l'oiseau.Ton ciel est magnifique.

Merci pour l'envoie et au revoir....JP

Hi Ram,
I like your composition here. Bright but not harsh light. The colors look great. Nice detail. Sometimes simple is the best! :)

Hi Ram, you've got very nice contrasts in this shot with the Dove as the centre of attention. Your colour and the detail on this guy are very good, but stand out even better against that solid blue. Excellent composition, excellent shot.

Thanks, John
