The fact that you were able to be so close with a 90mm tells a lot about the dove being cautious but not afraid. That she chose to make her nest so close to your house means that she is comfortable with the surroundings. The setting and framing is fine but the bird lacks life. I would suggest that you use moderate flash fill to open up the shadow areas, just enough to see more detail in the plumage. You might want to set up the camera and trigger it from a distance so as not to spook the dove.
