Inca Dove
South Texas


I was thrilled to get some good opportunities at Inca Doves during a spring visit to Texas. Cropped a bit tighter than I like for web presentation.

Digital capture with Canon EOS 1D Mark II
Canon 500 f4
Evaluative -.3 for 1/800, f10
ISO 400
Tripod with Wimberley Sidekick

Image comments / critiques appreciated!

Beautiful, Heather. You must be really pleased with this lovely image. The wood sets the bird off perfectly.

The color of the perch matches well with the dove's plumage ...
Nicely done, Heather!
