Feedin' The Birds

[ian408]

This gentleman feeds the birds once or twice a week. Usually about five or
six loaves of sliced bread.

That is a very nice shot, Ian. I love the colors and the framing.

Ian,
:agree with Andy. These people always remind me of the pigeon lady in Mary Poppins (or was it Home Alone??...lol) "Feed the birds........"

At first I thought I'd like to see it cropped (or shot) tighter. But, the more I look at it, the more I like the included colorful foreground foliage :thumb :thumb

Thanks for the comments!

I was afraid he'd run out of bread before I popped off a few frames :D
He had maybe 4 loaves and just heaved them to the birds a loaf at a time.

Wider and closer is what I am thinking if there's a next
time :D

great lighting ian. There is a famous pidgeon lady in Central Park, I hope I can get a shot of her one day.

I like it! Especially after I looked at a bigger version where you could see the bread he's throwing. Have you tried a landscape crop instead of portrait?

Shot vertical. Don't think it'd look as good horizontal--maybe if I was nearer?

Shot vertical. Don't think it'd look as good horizontal--maybe if I was nearer? I definitely like it! For some reason I just want the birds to be higher....

Wonderful frame--full of atmosphere and life.


I think the vertical frame works wonderfully here.
