A pair of White-winged Doves engaged in a mating ritual in a tree just off our patio.
Hi Rich, I really like the interaction you have captured here - shows this behavior very well. Nice depth of field and detail on the birds. Those red eyes are really nice. well done.
A fine interaction shot with good detail in the doves. Like the blue eye ring and red eye.
This is a very nice behavioral shot, Richard! The display of affection makes for a very intimate and warm mood. Colors, exposure and detail are excellent also. Very nicely done!
Love the interaction. Your DoF was really nice, allowing the heads of both birds to be in focus. Only critiques are that the background is pretty bright, and the image has some noise. Tough shooting situation that you handled well.
