The main reason I dropped by your portfolio was to comment on this one. I didn't leave many comments during voting this time, but remembered that I wanted to come back and comment this one. Glad to see it was yours. This is one of those that makes you quietly linger and enjoy. I particularly like the inclusion of the bird. Normally I'd want your subject looking at the camera, but with the bird there, this works with him looking out of the frame. As always, light is excellent.
you know, this shot is funny. I only gave you a 6 because I thought it was a serious attempt by some Larus-wannabe. So I wanted to give you a 4, but like I said, I had to give 2 extra points for the pigeon. That should have been my clue that this was some messed-up individual like you.
I just love the look of this one. I went for a look similar to this myself. To me. .this should have a score well into the 6's! It is quite underrated in my opinion!
I like this composition, especially the juxtaposition of the pigeon and the man, but wonder if you could have brought out some more detail in the shadows.
