There are lots of other things that are drawing far more attention than the black car in this scene.

Excellent photo; the moment is perfectly captured and you've got surprisingly perfect BW tones for a minimal edit. Well done.

Great shot, really think this should've been a good bit higher considering some of the entries above you and the prompt.

This is probably one of the coolest pigeon shots I've seen. Nice shot.

There are pleasing colors, and a potentially interesting scene, but what is your subject? Judging by your focal point, it's a lily pad. Viewers focus upon what is in the sharpest focus, so in this case, a lily pad. Why is that important, did you want to have your boatman more blurred and going off into the distance? What is it you want us to look at? To me, this is the most critical thing to consider. There are great elements here, but it's confusing what you want us to look at, what your message is. Are we looking at a lone boatman going into the swamp? Are we looking at a scene that emphasizes the boatman or the environment? What is the narrative you are trying to tell on this shot? Colors etc are nice, but your direction is lost, IMO.

Definitely seems like a pigeon like bird, but not familiar with UK specimens...

This is excellent, and even more impressive taken with an Iphone. Well done! Sad that this wasn't higher up in the results.

First, head isn't in a clean spot. Shifting your position slightly left and having him a bit more to the right would help showcase both him and the building. It looks like you missed focus a little bit, as well. Both the concrete stairs, as well as parts of him (especially foot) lack the clarity of the rest of the scene. This may be a situation to consider a hyperfocal setting, upping iso and stopping down another stop, or accepting the lack of clarity in the background, instead (see further down regarding that consideration). From an action sports photo perspective, you want to separate subject from background in a shot like this, but with that cool building, you're in a tricky spot wherein you need to decide what type of an audience you're after. Since this is a senior photo shoot, you're aiming to focus on your model, so I'd say a decrease in DoF would be welcomed. For a photo on here, a deeper DoF will probably work better as it adds the interest of the building (generally, I've not seen true sport specific shots place well outside of sport specific challenges).

This looks more like a bird I would've expected to see in New Zealand. Interesting fauna you have down there.
