A close-up look at the eye of the Eurasion Collared Dove taken in my front yard on 19 August 2024. 1/1000 sec, f/6.3, iso 200, 90 mm macro lens. This is a full-frame image. Looks a little better viewed large.

Wow- intense. It must have been pretty tame. That's quite some red color.

Cynthia, This was a wild bird. Unfortunately, it was sick and could not fly. My neighbor and I are doing everything we can to bring it back to health. For me, looking at the eye in the large view is almost hypnotizing.

Striking feather detail - and the eye is amazing.

Awesome to be so close to the bird. The ones here where I live would never let me get that close and I would need a 600 + extender to get a similar shot and the crop it.
Amazing detail.
