[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This morning just behind my backyard and high up in a huge 20 meter high old tree, that is showing signs of spring.
Difficult to make these pictures, because a few smaller trees in my yard are standing in the way. So I could use no tripod and hoped for the best. At least the light was lovely.
I opened the pictures, but I thought no PP work was needed, so then I adjusted the brightness with 50% to use as background and made 4 picture the same size and pasted them together, because this deserves more then just one to "get the picture".

Have a nice Spring Day,

Els

Hi Els
The Doves have the right idea. Compliments on the PP work - like the simple way of just lapping the images - and of course nicely framed.

Goede morgen Elly.
Love is in the air.!
Very nice serie of the doves.
Bedankt voor jouw werk aan het Zierikzee plaatje. Jammer dat je er niks aan vond. haha
Als ik een compositie had willen maken zoals jouw workshop had ik dat ter plaatse kunnen doen (Almost) Tis maar wat je leuk vind, toch ?
Hier prima naar de zin nog 3 dagen uit zien te houden. sniff.!
Lieve groeten ook aan Ad, van Meri en Jan

Hello Els,

A well recorded seasonal mood, nicely presented!

Hi Els,
I have a similar series of photos of my geese in the pond!
Marvellous sharpness, colors, texture and detail and a very nice "love story" presented here.
TFS

Lurdes

PS: Their discontement of the invasion is obvious in the last photo :)

Hi Els,
You captured some interesting and precious moments of togetherness here.Indeed we get the 'picture', the idea alright! Each picture is crisp and put together in your montage in such a way we can see the progress in the courting session and considering the obstacles encountered ,it is a very nice outcome overall,
good work,
TFS,
Carol

Hi Els,
Wonderfully charming capture of these affectionate doves that are seen in beautiful soothing colors and excellent details and sharpness.
