Morning, Mourning Dove

Canoncan · Apr 29, 2005

This Dove was captured very early this morning sitting on an outdoor feeder and I liked the colour the red morning sun hit her with.

Why are you calling it a "mourning dove"? Does it look like it is in "mourning" to you? Wearing red???

(Well, yes, I know, I know, the red is from the he rising sun)
This is once again a very beautiful photo!
We begin to expect nothing less from you anymore, Peter!

Thanks everyone. LaFoto the reason In the title is that is the name of the bird. It is called a morning dove, a cousin of the Rock Dove more affectionately known as a pigeon.

nice warm colors, I like it.

Beautifully backlit, with just enough exposure to capture frontal detail. Such a cute, puffed up little creature!

I love this shot. Very peaceful moment.

One of the best I've seen from you; very good work! :thumbup:

Very nice but I guess many have already said that. The color is great! My only complaint is I wish the Dove would have been sitting on a wire or branch. If that were the case, the picture, in my mind, would be perfection...
