    Hi Tony,

    I assume Tippi is in reference to the movie " The Birds ". I had to laugh at the one gull who made off with a whole slice of bread. I feed birds at Jacksonville Beach on a regular basis. If the birds I see regularly were to see that, they would plunder his catch in mid-air.

    Take care,

    Tom

    Nice one, Tony! Although I'd prefer it in black and white as I find the color distracting.rolleyes1.gif

    I'm not trying to stir the pot on the B&W versus color issue. Each has its place in photography. But , to me, this photo makes a much greater impact as seen in color.

    In the B&W version you lose the stand-out red hair on the child to the right. You also lose the beautiful color variations on the pigeons. There's a vibrancy to the scene that requires, in my mind, color.

    I'm going to vote for color as well on this one. I find it much more immediately apparent what's going on in color. I have to parse the image in B&W. ne_nau.gif
