Terrific soft lighting, Sandy, and a beautiful complementary background. I like the leaves on the right margin – they seem to balance the image for me. The dove is gorgeous.

Sandy, The background is really nice. On my monitor, it could be just a hair brighter? I see you're using White Balance Auto. The way the camera processes White Balance Auto is not always consistent. My recommendation is to use White Balance Sunny, and then adjust the image for the lighting condition. Some people suggest to use White Balance Cloudy for clouds, but in my experience, this makes the image just a tad too yellow. Since I switched to White Balance Sunny, I have been more happy with the images. My two cents.

Beautiful capture, Sandy- so soft and suitable to the bird. Like the leaves in the corner for balance.
