This is first of a couple of shots of a Mourning Dove taken on a very bright sunny day this past Friday. This shot was taken with 70-300 zoom lens set at 210mm. The shutter speed was 1/1600 aperture F/5 and ISO 400. It has been cropped and enhanced.

This is a really excellent exposure. It is great how the colors of the bird meld with those of its surroundings. Beautiful capture Gerald.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
Beautiful capture Gerry. So crisp and clear.

What a beautiful mourning dove. I don't think I've ever seen one with blue on it. The sky really helps those feathers stand out! Great shot to look at, Jerry!

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.

Beautiful, Gerry! We have a lot of morning doves in our neighborhood. I wish I had a better zoom....

Very very nice, Jerry. I bet you didn't have to do much enhancing at all, and thanks again for posting your settings. Itt's definintely one of the most colorful of doves that I've ever seen. His mourning clothes look great on him.

There is such wonderful depth to this picture Gerry. The bird is a delight. I hope he was pleased there was a photo expert to take his portrait, and stopped mourning for a while.\
A most excellent picture.

Please visit my gallery.
Your 70-300 zoom lens works perfectly! The contrast with the dark blue background is beautiful.

Beautiful Gerry. I've never seen one with such beautiful colors as this one. I keep trying to take them around my house where there are lots but they are all a dull grey and not 'in fashion' at all. This is really stunning.

Man, you are becoming quite the "birder". This is magnificent. The exposure is perfect and so is the focus and color. It's a keeper.

This is a very lovely shot Gerry - great detail and lighting on the dove and a very complementary background. We have the Collared Dove which is a similar looking species, but way too flighty to allow a close enough approach for a great image like yurs!
Cheers,
Steve.
