I?ve tried something like this at Empire?s.. but this "look" is really unusual..
It would be better if you didn?t cut out the feet.. but...I?m still laughing at it.. great decisive moment..
Cheers!

great artistic job from the pidgeon ;-) the DOF is a bit hard - I think it would make the image more interesting if one can see the crysler building. cheers, thilo.

Thilo, thanks for the comment...could not do much about the DOF, did not have much of chance to change the settings and still capture the image. I think either a min or max DOF would work, would just convey a different feeling.

i don't agree with thilo on this. it is not a cityscape, an would have no reason to 'make it more interesting' to have anything other than the (hilarious!) main subject in plain view. great catch!!

Hugo, thanks for the comments.. yes not much time to compose. As I replied to Carmem, the feet were cut off because there was a part of a fence (to stop people from jumping off haha) that blocked my view of his feet... also, I wanted to get all of the chrylser building in the image...even though it was out of focus. thanks again...

I definitely think that this photo would be a better photo than the city. You don't get the opportunity to take photos like that often. It's almost like the bird was posing for the camera. It's one of those photos that you don't plan to take, but turns out to be one of the best.

Too bad you lost his feet, otherwise this is wonderful. The tilt of his head is very amusing. This bird certainly has a New York attitude.

nice catch of an interesting character! you are a quick draw!
IMHO, the shallow dof works very well - gives a hint of the city but allows you to focus on the subject. but - arrrgh- the cut feet do bother me, though i still like the image. may be it would look better with the offending fence? obscured feet is different from cut feet that have nowhere to go.

Thanks Naftali... yes, it would be nice to have the feet included. And the fence you are talking about, well I cropped that off in the camera when I took the image. I guess that is one drawback of composing/editing a scene in the camera instead of later on in the computer.
