Who says that one needs great light to create great photography. Fantastic composition here Gaby. The diagonal between the two main motives - the dove and the woman - really holds this scene together. Great low angle. And good job of keeping everything sharp!

Hi GAby,
interesting picture. The unusual winter-scene and the pigeon-POV make it very special.
Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Pity the face of the child is invisible here.
Also pity of the epmty sky, but you cannot help that (without cheating)
I like the frog perspective on the bird.
What's next, a bird perspective on a frog :-) ?

Hi gaby,

a more street shot than your portraits. I really like the low POV and your idea to frame this photo with emphasis on the pigeon. Well captured streetlife Gaby, its a compelling image.

Amicalement,

Great POV Gaby ... what did the people say while you were laying on the ground? :))
A shame the weather wasn't that great, but you can't have it all right? ;)
Have a nice day

My friend Gaby
That's a real cool super low angle.
Very creative one, Gaby.
And those pigeons must be very friendly that it allowed you to shoot them at pretty close range.
But the best of all, is that you are able to include the mother and her child in the frame.
That's the point.
Cheers and good day, Gaby.

Superbement cadre.

Excellent choice of POV here, Gaby. Bird-human interaction from the birds' point of view! I wonder what the woman was thinking about what you were doing down there on the ground. I'm guessing you set up the shot on a low tripod, then triggered the shutter remotely when the pigeons got close--is that right? By whatever method it's very original and well-executed! Regards, Ken.

Hi Gaby,
This is a really well taken shot! The pov is perfect, from this angle I feel like a warm, Pretty scary! lol
Very well done. Regards, Ramy.

Hello, Gaby

Nice composition with the pidgeon watching you. You have shown that the square is more crowded with pigeons than people. Wonderful grey nuances of the birds, and the traditional clothes make the photo more authentic.

Regards,

Asparuh
