I think it's time to go visit Lutchenko or Ecce Signum . Trafalgar square has to be the best pigeon place in the world!

Sigh.... Deb has to be somewhere on Saturday that precludes shooting pigeons. Sigh....

But I will try to get something shot for this challenge - really! I didn't get anything for the Street challenge and feel kinda bad about missing that one. Just haven't had much of a chance to get out and shoot recently. Sigh....

Did this really need to be in Advanced rules? (im guessing both open challenges need to be same rules)

Such a majestic and noble creature has no need for trickery to convince us of its value

It's advanced - not "expert" - very little "trickery" used in most advanced challenges. Mostly cloning out distractions (ooooh, sacrilege!) :)

We are talking about the same birds arent we? Slightly skanky round the edges? poo & coo a lot? Never though of them as majestic.

Gonna get my Mutley suit on and go pigeon stalking

distractions fade away on their own when dealing with such splendor

There will be no bad-mouthing of the pigeons! I will have them find you and make a deposit on your gear if you do..... :-)

Think again. When I was vacationing in London last year I didn't see one pigeon in Trafalgar Square....and I was disappointed by that! You know how you get images in your mind of what certain places will look like, well I had visions of hundreds of pigeons in Trafalgar Square. But there were none there and there were signs around telling people not to feed the pigeons.
