Very nice scene. I think the legs in the upper left corner add something special to this composition.

Looking at TE's photos, looks like the color revolution has sort of pushed B&W to the side. And the B&W photos I see here are in many instances misused. Where color should be, there is none and the shots that would be perfect in B&W are in color. I think this photo is an example of good B&W phootgraphy. It is a nod at some of the great photography done in B&W when that medium was considered the only true medium to work in. Good mood here, I like the style, I like how the girl is lit up and all he surroundings are dark. Thats a great way to highlight the subject.

Hola Kike. This is very nice - I love your choice of b&w here as it makes the little one stand out even more. The streak of sunlight hitting her bright coat is really good. You also cropped the photo very well. And a fine idea to link it with this great song.

This is well build around the position of the clear young girl an the dark birds and surroundings.
Great BW with a good text, I mean strong whole image and a good relation in between text and picture.
I like it

Hi Kike,
What a smart move to turn this one into b/w!
Great placing of the little girl within the frame for the composition and choice of black border for framing.
By her face expression I'm not quite sure she's comfortable being surrounded with so many pigeons, but also may be that I've seen Hitchcock's 'Birds' to many times!
;-D
Pair of legs in the upper left nicely balances the rest of the photo,

This is a really lovely image of childhood - great to take this low perspective and to maintian this emphasis with just the legs of the adult passing - she looks so absorbed!

best wishes Kev

Hi Cesar - very cute, nice use of b&w, and excellent timing, she looks fascinated by the pigeons, and a little scared, great work

Hi Cesar,
How true! Take the time to see around us. That is one of the reason why I'm in love with photography. It help me to "open my eyes" to everything around me. Not just for beauty but for "what is". About your picture here, it is a great one! The black & white choice, the cropping, the legs of the walker behind, so many birds, that cute little girl with her expression, all those things make it special to me. Your text goes hand in hand with it. Perfect!
Claire
