 I waited for about an hour taking different pictures of pigeons flyby the statue until this one was captured at this wonderful moment. I guess I was very lucky.

Very strange and surreal. You did capture a perfect moment with the pigeon.

For me, I wonder what this would look like cropped from a horizontal into a vertical photo - eliminating the building on the right (or most of it without clipping the bird). I like the strong silhouettes.

Lovely ... and that pigeon! This is not going to score as well as it should simply because its perspective is a bit tenuous

wow--great silhouette--fantastic image--the flying bird adds visual interests for sure--beautiful sky too. The "perspective" is not very strong but I like it anyway

I like how the bird parallels the positioning of the cherub

Love the pigeon in flight!! If it were perfect for my eye, I'd crop out the peaks of the building on the right. Great silhouette.
