It's not exciting or particular dramatic, but 1st I think it's my best Dove shot so far and 2nd FZ continues to amaze.

This is shot is 18X digital zoom :wow
I think it also helps bring home the do your part and the camera (any camera made today) will deliver, FZ20+tcon14b+monopod

It's nice, the composition with the angled tree is interesting.

Good one Ben... I got these little beggars all over the yard. Everytime I snap a pic... just not satisfied with the outcome. Somehow I need to shephard them off the ground and into a tree like yours!:D

I love that dove shot. Would not think of shooting doves, . There was one on my roof yesterday morning. I thought of it then, but dogs, etc.

Yours is so good, that would be a hard bar to reach. It is a dove/flower/springtime shot, but it is really a dove shot set off by the rest, is that correct?

I just woke up.

Anyway, beautiful shot, nice framing of the bird.
Nice way to grow the branch, a diagonal, if memory serves me, really cool all around.

Dove Bar :lol4 :lol



I can tell it is going to be that kind of a day. After the work: the play. (That rhymes, too, and I don't even like "rhyming".)

See, I said you were setting a hard "bar" to reach, with your dove shot, after I signed off...................well, I used to love Dove Bars........

sorry for the interruption,

ginger:D

Hey Ben,

Excellent capture. I used to believe that the Sony's were the best prosumer camera but you and Kirwin are turning me into a big Panasonic fan.

On the comp or the crop I would have tried to have the dove less in center, probably more towards the upper right.

Hi Harry
Ok I'll whip out the original and have a go at it. I'm always never sure about cropping so thanks for the input.
