the juxtaposition of child and bird is pure poetry

I'm hanging this in my mythical Posthumous Art Gallery

Oh, yes. That is typical family interaction. I'd like to see the next moment.

Interesting dynamics here -- makes me wonder what was going on and engaging the viewer is always a good thing. I like back lighting but the exposure, esp on the girl's hair and the ground, is a little off here.

Every parent has this type of moment so this shot is relatable, nice focus on the two of them and I like the backlighting. That pigeon is a wee bit distracting but not overly so. Would've liked the shot to be a bit sharper overall.
