Birds Eye View of Manhattan

If it were mine (I wish) I would also change the cropping on the left hand side so that the the line of the building meets the same hight the point does where the pigeon is standing. (the left hand side of the metlife building) Actually if it truelly was mine I would make sure the color of the pigeon's feet where still correct as well, and the line I would choose would be the corner towards us of the metlife building. I do find the light color of the ledge to be distracting and the bird has more room behind then in front. (normally in wild-life shots have the animal looking into the larger space) I think the cropping on the left would give the impression of ^^^^ continuing triangles so the mind would just fill in what it could not see of the ledge.

I really like that it is in color. I really like the angle of the shot looking down on both the bird and the buildings. (rather then eye level to the bird I don't think you would get the same feeling).
I really like the concept as well.

Really liked the idea. Challenged my preceptions of freedom. Normally I favor color, but in this case B&W seemed an excellent choice.

Took me a minute to get how this meant freedom. Like the consept, the light by the thumb is a bit distracting for me.
