Superb Fruit Dove

This was a tricky one to get..it was taken behind heavy mesh at Bird World

Farnham, UK, and I had to get to that optimum point of distance so I could

de-focus..I aimed for his eye and managed to get that, then very gently

enhanced the background in post to compliment the main tones of the

body. I used the female in the background as almost a reflection....

this is a beautiful capture. I have never seen this type of dove before and its colours are outstanding.

Thank you for the pre-amble of how you captured it, and I would be interested in how you "got rid" of the mesh.... if you have the time to email me.

your PP work is brilliant, rounding off this first rate image.

Well done........ top marks.

Regards

Excelente y creativo.

Outstanding image Pauline, the colors are fantastic, and i like the "reflection" of the female in the background.  Great post-processing as usual.  This is going to "my favorites" folder.  Regards- michel

I love your work Pauline. This is another sensation image.

I like your kind of editing. It looks like a painting. Really nice! Best wishes, Olaf
