[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello friends,

This is my 100th post. Today, I propose a Morning Dove which is quite a common bird in my country but it is the first time I can photographed one in a tree instead that on a wire.

I still remember the first critic I received when I published my first picture on this site. It was a Dragonfly which was not sharp at all :) This first critic was written by HANSH, one of the greatest Dragonflies’ specialists on this site. I must say that he was very kind to me and gave me helpful advices. Since then, I removed this picture from my gallery, realizing that is was not good at all :-)

After this critic, many other followed and they helped me A LOT to improve my technique. So, I want to thanks all the members who helped me learning more about photographic technique and all those who criticized my pictures in a constructive and honest way. Thanks for all the tips I had from you my friends members who took your precious time to thought me how to take better pictures. The list here would be too long to enumerate and I don’t want to forget anybody so I won’t write it down but, as I said before, you know who you are. Thanks a lot!

Many congratulations on your 100th post, Claudine!
A dove is a symbol of peace and love, so what could be more fitting that this image on this occasion?
Many of us on TN share your sentiments and experiences. One thing is for sure: this site does motivate people through healthy interaction of ideas.
The dove looks beautiful here, especially perched on a branch and not a cable! :-)
All the best for your next 100 posts.
