Sonny,

It is difficult to approach wild life. 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.

Best wishes,
