Renee Dawson replied
Thank you very much hun – you always seem to know exactly when I need to hear something like this. xo As artists, and photographers, we all have our up & down times now don’t we. I was sitting on my deck, just a few feet away from the dove, when I took this picture. We have quite a few doves that visit but this is the only one that WILL stay when I am outside. I loved the way the light was hitting her body and yes, she did look like she was glowing that day!
