There is something about small children and pigeons! Good capture.

Hi Brian,

Your photo is ABSOLUTELY better and looks WAY funner!

This is absolutely amazing! Kids chasing pigeons are always wonderful subjects for candids, the joy they exhibit is unbelievable! You've done a great job. I always find that either making your colours pop, or using B&W for these sorts of images works. By giving the colours some punch you'll focus the image a lot more on the girl's form, and black & white with birds will tend to draw your eyes to the shapes of the moving birds, try some alternate processes. Having said that, this image on its own is outstanding! Love it!

Good "action" shot -- it's clearly unposed.

Now this is a perfect moment, and how beautifully set up/framed. The gods conspire.

Yes, exactly! That's why I didn't stick around for more. I had a few things going for me: I was a bit far away, and I was down steps so I had a good perspective (I'm six feet plus; notice I'm almost looking up at the subject). Also, there was a garbage can stategically placed between me and her... guardian(s).

LOL! I have one very similar from this weekend. Kids love to chase these guys. I have think the pigeons rather enjoy the chase as well. And we love to shoot the kids as they chase the birds. It's a fun cycle.

I've often taken photos of kids interacting with pigeons; it's not that hard to do. ;-Þ
