c'mon..that pigeon is definitely posing..
this is a great capture...wonderfully balanced and very relaxing to look at I might add...
the reflection in the window is such a wonderful bonus..
great symmetry. I love the way this space divides into sections. For example, there are three sections beneath the benches. one contains a pair of shoes, one contains a pigeon, and one contains blissful emptiness. Also, note the symmetry of the subjects, each with the carefully angled leg. They look like statues that belong in the museum! It's one of those images I can just sit and look at.
Nice eye, and nice shooting. The pigeon ... well, I'm unsure about it's presence helping or hindering - it's perhaps not quite spot-on dead centre enough to really make the composition, especially given that the two pairs of sandals are already making a nice break in the balance of the image. It might have more impact in black-and-white, which would help emphasise the graphic nature of the shot, and allow you to push the overall feel of brightness in the image, which currently feels a touch dark to me. But despite that, this is the most interesting shot i've seen in this challenge so far.
