Very nice looking pose on this perch.  You got nice light and detail.  This looks like a fairly good sized dove.

A backyard bird here in Phoenix as well.  Colors look spot on and very natural. Nice detail as well.

Very nice detail and an interesting pose, Jerry.  That perch seems to be quite popular and it has some nice lines that add to the images you're getting.

Nice detail here Jerry, it shows the beautiful eye this species has.  You might consider putting the perch in the middle of the yard farther away from the background in order to blur it more if you have room. devil
