Just a couple of plain Mourning Doves. I thought the light was pretty. :) All comments are welcome. Thanks for looking!

Very nice composition and tonality. The eye rings and feet give it that extra punch.

Wonderful light. The colors are like liquid candy. I would be hard pressed to find a nit with this image.

Very nice!!

Great colors, and their feathers look almost like scales. I like the mirror image of their heads.

You have done a wonderful job to make a beautiful image of mourning doves. The pose in opposite directions along with the detail and exposure are excellent.

Cute, I like the pair, especially how the back bird is peering over the front one. Nice light and background - great catch!
