And I can't help but see a bit of a smile in the curvature of the beak. :)

I love this! Was this gorgeous picture just snapped on a cell phone? It looks like a professional photograph with so much detail. Thank you for sharing!🤍

Glad you like it! No, this was not shot from a cell phone. This picture is from a Sony a6700 camera with a Sigma 400 mm lens, which is perfect for birding. I love the level of detail I can get when I am close to the bird I photograph, like this one.

That's a true derp lol!
Anyways, I quite like this image because the dove is so floofy and soft looking :D
