Thank you all for helpful comments.
I had to crop that narrow to left the distracting objects outside.
Refrained to saturate more to avoid unnatural look.
cool. There are some missing heads here. nifty work.
OK - I've decided to give this image my very latest award- the Meta Shoulda.
In this case, this shoulda won but I think it shoulda had a bit more negative space to push it over the top.
Congrats on your "shoulda".
Because you have those two birds that are alone, I dont think this meets the challenge all that well. I think you should've cropped it at the bottom up to the 4th row of pigeons and entered this into the "Odds" contest.
this would have been 8 or may be 9 for me, if it wasn't for this odd narrow crop. did you just decide to have this crop or there was some distracting/cluttering elements close to the subject?
