This was shot in my back yard yesterday. The background is the water of Puget Sound and the green is the top of an evergreen tree growing below the cliff. These non-native birds are multiplying rapidly in Washington state. Its kind of hard not to like them.

Please click image for more detail, thanks.

Canon 1DX2, 500mm f4L IS II, ISO 1250, f/11, 1/3200 sec, manual exposure.

Pretty bird in a nice pose - sharp, bright eye, great BG.
Fine catch!

They moved from Asia to Europe, now to USA and eventually to Canada.
Great flight shot of this fancy looking Dove, Bob.

The lighting, exposure, and feather detail are all excellent. And the ocean provided the perfect background. Beautiful image.
