HI Deanster, I'm amazed that this bird can grip anything! Two claws doesn't seem like enough to hold on to a perch. It's nice to know that he seems to be handling the situation. You got a great picture of this bird and did a wonderful job of hiding the barn. Focus and lighting are great! Nicely done on all counts! :o) Nancy

A good looking nature image posted here, together with interesting notes too! Your fine and classical composition gives us an enjoyable view of that unlucky bird and its location. Well taken!

Hi! Not seeing an "ugly barn and stick in the background", as you mentioned. But this is a great capture of the handsome white dove. Like your story behind the photo. Interesting.
