Left pigeson: "Ummm, Frank? I don't think he has any french fries."
Right Pigeon: "Quiet George! I think I can see his wallet from here."

Excellent capture! Fits the challenge perfectly. I love the wide distortion effect. This must have been taken with a super-wide. Composition is also quite good. This is scoring high in my book.

Looks like he's conducting an orchestra: "Ok! And a one, and a two..."

A great challenge entry and nicely executed too. I like how you chose to shoot this with the bird facing away from us. Great DOF.

Super composotion. Highlights are blown under the wing, on top of neck and below black skullcap. I also find that the colours (dark blue and green) are a bit over the top. They are just too vivid in this case. I would have also fixed that grey smudge near the right edge of the photograph.
