Dove Mourning

Dove Mourning

Description

I cropped this shot and burned out the background to emphasize the texture and colors of the feathers. No other effects. It's amazing how this bird turned a flat gray when it jumped up and walked off, but spread out it's feathers and became so like its surroundings while laying down. This is my first bird shot, so if it isn't a Mourning Dove, please correct me!
