Description
Most photographers will agree, early morning light is wonderful to work with, as it was this June morning. I had been watching two (2) Eurasian collared doves as they were trying to mate.
The sun was off to the left side of the frame and beyond the fence, this angle did provide some great illuminated feathers in so many of my shots. The down side is that it did leave the head with a slight shadow. The good thing is that the doves have that light gray head so it doesn’t totally darken the head.
During one of the several rest periods of the mating, I captured the female posing in a balance pose with wings up and partially spread and on one foot. Since the action did continue after the break, could the beautiful pose have been flirting? Either way, I was impressed with the pose.
I really like how the early morning light highlights the edges of the dog eared fence. This particular fence seems to have some great details in the texture of the wood and the angle of the light really brings it out.
I made this photograph in June 2023 in Munday, Texas.
