Hi Everton,
A beautiful capture of the m. dove!
I like very much the clear image, DOF and exposure settings.
The blurred background works terrific, and I like a lot the composition made along the diagonal.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Everton,
What a splendid capture of the little Mourning Dove. I love the sharp details of the plumage and the eye and the lovely colours. Fine contrasting background and well composed.
Many thanks, Ulla

Nice capture... the soft focused abstract background adds nicely to this composition.

I used to live in Chandler yet don't recall ever seeing this species, but that is probably because I wasn't paying attention. I do know there is an incredible number of bird species in the Phoenix area. From childhood I've always called this a Turtle Dove. Don't know if that is a legitimate name or not.

I've seen a lot of birders with some pretty nice equipment taking pictures at Boyce Thompson Arboretum up near Superior, AZ. You ever take pictures there?

Olá Everton,
Mais um belo e delicado pássaro!
A nitidez que você consegue é algo impressionante!
Gosto desse enquadramento; o BG "esvoaçado" realçou a definição do primeiro plano.
Como sempre... muito bem feito!
Abraços,
José Roberto

Bien captada y acertado encuadre con un excelente fondo. Creo que le falta un poco de luz ya que por ejemplo el ojo hubiese mejorado bastante. Un saludo Everton y muchas gracias por tus amables comentarios:

Hi Everton.
I like this charming bird and very nice scene. It reflect the calmness of the bird and its beauty greatly. I also like perfect framing and composition, excellent details of the stub and dove, amazing smooth and neutral BG. May be it would be better more sharp image but I see light conditions were so poor. My best wishes and thanks.
Alexei.
