He is going to leave a few marks on that perfect paving. Nice shot.

Background works well with the subject, neat that it has little pops of color; adds interest

Sweet pigeon shot - seriously. Nice over the wing look, excellent detail, and you got one with very good and interesting markings. Also very good use of that unbroken expanse of brick to keep this sweet and simple.

I maybe on to something here...

Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

First Impression: Being a negative space junky the thumb grabbed my attention at once though was a little upset that the feet were not real

Composition: Absolutely love the composition.

Tecnical: I'm guessing the bg wasn't pure white in the original image so thats why you lost the shadow?

Artistic: Not a very DPC friendly shot as the score shows but for me this is a good shot, certainly out of the ordinary here and I like it a lot - it shows a novel flair.

Overall thoughts: In the most part this challenge bored me as footware doesn't really appeal to me and whilst there were plenty of techically better images in this challenge this was easily in my top 10, its fun, bright, different and a pleasure to view. It got a strong 7 from me and if you had sorted the shadow out and used real footwear it would have scored higher and most likely done much better in the challenge.

Thanks for submitting this and good luck for the future.
