This is a stunning effect, particularly the lower left corner, but every bird is absolutely fascinating.

Oh dear Coco!!! My heart is aching for you (and glad for her that she can now be playing free of pain on the other side). I had to do the same with two of my Aussies within months of each other. It is painful but the kindest thing we can do for them. Blessings!!

Goodbye, Coco. Lovely photo. I'm so sorry for your sadness.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This is a highly dynamic image - I really enjoy the rightmost pigeon which acts as an anchor for the rest of the image.

Critical stuff: I think there are elements of your editing choices that might be seen as a little over-egged. I think I'd have preferred this as a grainy monochrome than a smoothed colour image.

Overall: I DO like it though.

It doesn't matter what the placement or score is on this picture - because it means the world to you. I put my Annie down November 13th - it's amazing how they seem to know what's going to happen. Dogs are definately the most wonderful of companions!
