A wonderful scene. Reminds me of a man I saw in Hiroshima feeding pigeons. He was literally covered with them. Great capture.

Priceless expression, and nearly impossible to catch, leave it to you lol BRilliant timing on your part Michael :) and that sense of movement from the bird is also fantastic!

The great close-up is complemented by the background, creating the idea of a square full of pigeons where the scene took place.

The movement of the bird and the expressioin on the womans face make this a winner.

I used to love doing this in Trafalgar Square, London . . but they have banned it on some kinda health grounds. Probably in the interests of the pigeons! What a truly happy photograph this is.

The title is perfect for this photo. I hope she has a copy. I would love a picture of me that looked that happy and carefree.

A Venice classical shot, but the expression on her face is so pleasant.
