Dove on a Limb

Usually the doves peck around on the ground, but this one landed in

the tree right in front of me. The background is other trees and

with the shallow DOF, they came out as circles.

I would have liked it more if flash use would be less or none. With your lens and capability of changing ISO could probably have been possible, although I can't quit judge that. Composition is nice, but I love to see animals which makes me biased.

Rob, the porch where I was sitting was very dark today as it's cloudy and rainy. Usually I try to avoid flash, but I knew this would not work well today with the lighting. Thanks for your comments.

Too cool Kim. The gray shades of the great OOF background along with the colors of the bird... Very nice. I kinda almost wish the tree limb didn't have green in it! Keep it up - Bryan.
