My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Great clarity on the bird, pity that the snow isn't white, but ice-blue will work too, still a good shot :o)

You have brought this otherwise bland birdie to life with the lighting amplifying its color. Beautiful composition.

And why is it called a "mourning" one? Does not look particularly bereaved or bereft [whichever you prefer LOL].
Beautiful lighting in this composition, dear agent.

Very nice lighting to highlight his markings - I see and hear these frequently around here.

There is no discrimination at your bird feeder Tigz. I think this one shows a sign of peace. Good post.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Sandi - The coo of the mourning dove is heard often. The lighting has picked up the soft pastel hues of the bird, accentuated by the blurred natural gradient background. Thad

Their coo does sound so melancholy and yet beautiful at the same time. Great capture!
