You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Love the lighting and the clarity of the eyes. Another well done capture of your feathered friends. Thank you for sharing this with me ;=)
P.S. I love to watch the doves on my deck railing. They are so gentle :)
I forgot to mention above, how great is the composition of this shot, with the diagonals of her back in opposition to the diagonal of the branch. Miss Dove even has a "glow" above her head, as if she is having a wonderful thought.
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

This is an excellent bird capture. The detail in every area of the dove is exquisite. There was one little change I experimented with in PS and that was the bird's eye. It is dead and lacking life. That little white "window normally seen in a pupil was not captured so I put one in there. I cloned it from the round white area on the tree branch at bottom center. I made it a mere 4 pixels in size and placed it in the bird's eye. What a difference. The bird came to life. I have sent you a copy so you can see what I did and tell me what you think.
