Stock Dove

[SamFisher]

Another Sigma 150-500 image.
I was pleased to see the local Stock Doves are nest building in the same place again this year.

7D, Sigma 150-500, FL 500mm, handheld, 1/640 @ f6.3, ISO 2000

Re: Stock Dove

That's a super shot. I have never seen a stock dove as far as I know.

Thanks for sharing

They are not unlike a small Wood Pigeon.
I think they are good looking birds when you look at them closely.

I enjoy looking at good looking birds and this dove certainly is.
I would just add a little sharpness to improve this great image.

Re: Stock Dove

All my images appear sharp when printed or on Flickr but they seem to gain softness when uploading from Flickr for some reason.
I have sharpened this image with picnic to the point that it looks oversharpened just to see what it looks like uploaded
