Hanging around the neck from the strap, walking along with my hand casually on the camera. Set to the widest focal length. You can probably aim the camera better than I can without having to look. The angle was how the shot was taken, though I did crop it.

I've been out of touch the last week or so. I meant to follow up on your entry, as I didn't get around to voting. Anyway, I sort of remember hastily suggesting this title -- probably in jest. But really, I love it! A quirky shot needs a quirky title.

Sorry this didn't do better for you, but I guess it landed about where you expected. And you got some good comments.

Really, it's not a pigeon? Well, then it's some other intrusive bird poking its beak where it shouldn't. There have been far greater shoehorns.

Good geometry (of course) and really nice black and white conversion. I can safely say that in blind voting (and with that awesome title) this would have gotten a seven from me. Not that it would have put you in ribbon territory, but still...

A neat street scene, the guy looks like he's waiting for them to come by.

If you would've waited 5 seconds, you would've got the shot of him snatching the purse. :P
