Pigeon power! Love the doves! I found Paris pigeons to be much more swooopy and active than NYC pigeons - perhaps we have the American 'couch pigeon' variety here - moderately obese, sedentary etc. Do Norwegian doves swoop or slouch? Or are they as vertiginous as you portray them? I love what this photo does to my eyeballs. Nice work!

Awesome zoom blur! It makes it seem as if it's raining feed down to that one spot they are all aiming for. Nicely done!

It's like something from The Birds. Nice job, Peter. :) And WOW, look at that commenter score!

For whatever reason this shot reminds me of mental illness, grief, or a drug induced state of being. It evokes some strong emotions for me. If it weren't pigeons it wouldn't have that same sense though to be honest I can't put my finger on why.

Pigeons. Those are pigeons. Lowclass cousins of doves (or so I hear).

OK, now that I've disrespected your subject: really fun image! The sense of all of them converging on some piece of food and the blur lends a nice sense of chaos.

Ouch, this does really weird things to my head. Like it

Woah, this isn't doing my Menieres any good! The composition is good for the zoom burst and does give something of the sense of motion that you get when pigeons sre in a feeding frenzy.

The zoom blur does give a nice frenetic energy to the photo...
