You have been busy Isac. Another excellent set.

i wasn’t familiar with #2 so looked it up but couldn’t find it. Eventually found it listed as Laughing Dove Streptopelia senegalensis. Common names can be confusing, and even scientific names change occasionally, as species are re-classified. A top shot.

I really like #3. The colours of the bird, the foliage and the background work together beautifully. I like the framing of the bird and branches also. I find the light coloured band to the right of the bird a little distracting, though, but overall a really nice image.

Thanks for the name correction Alan. Sometimes I'm a bit forgetful! I have both the laughing dove and Mourning dove in my home-made bird ID sheet and when I saw the dove, I guessed wrong!! silly me. I thought seriously about removing the light streak in #3 but decided no. It is what it is and if it wasn't so blurred I would have removed it. Thinking about it now, I suppose I could make it the same colour as the rest of the BG. Mmmmm. WTS!

Here's the fix Alan.

That’s quite an improvement Isac. An excellent image.

Thanks for the CC Alan and I'm happy with the edit.
