Great low camera view and a marvelous shot of its back with its head turned. The feather colors, detail and patterns are remarkable. Exceptional JJ! TFS!

A charming capture of this beautiful dove, JJ! I've only ever seen them in Spain but it's something I'll never forget..

So beautiful these doves, just wish I was likely to see more than the one I saw 20 years ago!!

A fabulous picture this JJ - many thanks for showing him to us my friend.
