I just happened upon this scene after lunch with my sister, luckily when the light was right. It's an art installation in Sydney city centre celebrating the lost songs of 50 types of birds no longer present in the built up city environment. Here is a link. I was previously unaware of its existence
Wow! I didn't know this was in Sydney. I remember voting o. Wondering where it was (I really liked it too giving it an 8). Congrats on your first ribbon too. Very well deserved.
A late congrats, John. I had thought I had already commented on how much I liked the design elements and composition. And a ribbon!- the first of many for sure.
This is such a cool installation - I really thought it was the cages of vendors of birds but this is better. Congratulations on the ribbon, John. Your first? I am surprised but so glad you got it.

The thing is you have taken some great images John, and no ribbons, but you got one with an iPhone! Well done...victory is sweet. Hope you are well my friend
Congrats on your first ribbon, John! A fantastic image.
PS If I had commented I would have suggested selective desat on the blue to take away the blue line of the windows.
Thanks everyone, a special moment in my photographic life. Ironic that so much art comes from so much lost, and, with all the gear I have, the iPhone 4 rules the roost.
Congratulations on your first ribbon! As soon as I saw it in the challenge, I knew it had to be a sure thing. It is an amazing fit for the challenge, and such an interesting photo! Thanks for telling us the story of it!
Fascinating scene, excellent perspective, excellent for the title - would have been even better if the lyrics were "these birds have" :) Voted earlier.
