Interesting juxtaposition of free and the weight of gloom impending doom and sky. Makes me think of smoke filled and soot drenched industrializing London. Nice. I like the dark take.
yet another of my personal top ten that truly speaks to the way wildlife is sen in an urban environment. The action all taking place on the perifery of the frame and the strong grain really work.
I really like the grain. I think the photograph might benefit from pushing the abstraction or possibly toning it down - it feels like it's hovering in the middle.
