Some thing a little less aggressive from this side of the world

They don't bite, sting,or snarl at you.

Who would have thought that a photo of a dove could look so good
The colours and bokeh are superb. It doesn't matter that the focus is
a bit off, just keep the size down a bit.

Gorgeous bokeh you have going on there !

Lovely shot but could be improved by straightening and maybe cropping away half of the wooden beam.

Non aggressive eh ? Guess you're not a Hitchcock fan then.

I can see where Gareths coming from re the purple looking shadows, apart from that I think its a good shot, you cant expect to get everything in focus at 500mm even stopping a lens right down your still going to have a very limited depth of field.

I think a bit of selective sharpening around the head would give it a lift,
