I think stronger shadows or a more dim lightning could have made the picture stronger.

The sock lines are a little weird. I would have probably done some make up or something to make the skin look dead like it had been there a while. That would have given this a bit more punch.

Your photo made me gasp. Good work, that hasn't happened before.

I am torn between yours, and the other similar image, but as these are, so far, the only two that have moved me, both receive high scores from me.

All I'd say, is perhaps you should have waited a bit longer to take the shot so as to let the sock mark disappear on the right leg, but even so, the mark does kind of add some reality to it as there is no best or planned time to do the inevitable..!!

Think about the deatils, such as the sock mark on the right leg (when you're hanging, the blood will sink into your feet and they'll swell). What does the mirror add?

O.K., but lacks interest.

I love the feeling in this one. The black and white, the dof, the grain. Its all great. Only thing I would have chainged would have been to crop it slightly less on the right so it isn't cutting off his tail. Just a minor thing. Great shot.

Beautiful B&W shot. Perfect contrast. This qualifies to the "i like" camp.

Has a very sad feel to it - these pigeons are not joyful, but resigned to their tasks, their station.
