    Talking Dove portrait

    I was trying to get an image of a small bird in flight this afternoon without any luck. This dove landed on the rail of my deck, so I aimed my camera at it and slowly started walking toward the bird. I had my finger on the shutter button expecting the dove to take off at any second... the dove started walking toward me until I couldn't focus on it anymore... and then took off :mad2:

    I like the b/g, so here's a pic of the dove

    Beautiful shot there, Copy. Love the complementary colors between the background and the subject.

    I see a self-portrait there in his eye

    Great image Copy. I also love the complementary colors in the image, and the feather detail is great.
