 Feeding pidgeons with rice, on a square in Amsterdam. No, pidgeons will NOT explode when feeding on rice - it is a stupid myth!

I think it would have been lots better to have a looser crop, so you can see more of the boy and the birds.

Good shot, but it's a little soft IMO.

This image has such potential but the subject in the background takes away from the picture. That is too large a part of the picture to just blur out & be unnoticed. Too much of the bird is cropped out or missed in the shot. Although the boys other eye isn't in the picture & it is kind of neat, it is also uncomfortable to look at b/c I know he has another part of his handsome face missing.

Nice shot, just a bit of a shame that we cant see the top of the flying pidgeon and possibly a little more 'dead' space to the left of it

Still a fine image

I love the very unusual balance of this - gives it a unique energy.
