This gentleman feeds the birds once or twice a week. Usually about five or
six loaves of sliced bread.

    Ian,
    15524779-Ti.gif with Andy. These people always remind me of the pigeon lady in Mary Poppins (or was it Home Alone??...lol) "Feed the birds........"

    At first I thought I'd like to see it cropped (or shot) tighter. But, the more I look at it, the more I like the included colorful foreground foliage thumb.gifthumb.gif

    Thanks for the comments!

    I was afraid he'd run out of bread before I popped off a few frames :D
    He had maybe 4 loaves and just heaved them to the birds a loaf at a time.

    Wider and closer is what I am thinking if there's a next
    time :D

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    great lighting ian. There is a famous pidgeon lady in Central Park, I hope I can get a shot of her one day.

    I like it! Especially after I looked at a bigger version where you could see the bread he's throwing. Have you tried a landscape crop instead of portrait?

    Shot vertical. Don't think it'd look as good horizontal--maybe if I was nearer?

    I definitely like it! For some reason I just want the birds to be higher....

    Wonderful frame--full of atmosphere and life.


    I think the vertical frame works wonderfully here.
