Excellent cityscape shot. I really like the composition and DOF.

well, pigeons sure ain't domestic, are they? I like how the diagonal of the structure rises out of the pigeon's head. the whole composition works great, even though it is complex. nicely done. 9

Love the "No humans" sign - just too perfect! Excellent composition and alignment of the gang members.

An interesting and unusual perspective on wildlife. The angle of the shot is really interesting, but it makes getting a good shot really hard, because it's too easy to blow out the sky. It might have worked better to shoot the pigeons in a more attractive setting, say in a park or on a statue.

Love the sign in the background.

Tough guys... I like the "no humans" sign too as the central focus of color. The perspective really makes this shot.

Man, I haven't seen a pigeon in a while. I liked this one and loved the sign - how perfect! Hope your camera didn't touch anything gross on the ground lol

the more I look at this the more I like it. Wildlife doesn't have to be a warm bright picture of an elk out in a scenic landscape. I love the wide angle of the lens you used. This is Great! 10

Nice to see someone tackle a common subject and do something with it. I like everything about this and hope others do to.

I like that you included the sign. Nice perspective from their point of view. The geometry of the city is very effective. Nice gray/neutral color scheme with that POP of red. 7

Great perspective! Lovin' the angle you're on here.. Right in the trenches with the pidgeons, givin' us a view of what they see. Cool :) 7

The beady-eyed one in front looks like he's going to enforce the "no people" Sign ;-)

I hope you kicked one of them after taking this! ;-) Nicely done, setting them against the cityscape and from a Pigeon's POV.

Exceedingly unnatural environment. I know this is where they are found most but it isn't natural. Sorry, 6.
