i dislike pigeons. i've always thought of them as rats with wings. regardless, i decided to photograph this one, because it looked so menacing. even more so, now that i've gotten a closer look at it.

this shot was taken from about three feet away, and i didn't notice until i viewed the picture at home that the pigeon had bits of blue string tangled around its feet. that is a bagel that the bird is skulking around. again; i wish it weren't in the shot. i also wish that it had come out a bit clearer.

Whats wrong with the bagel in the picture? I kinda think it suits being there. Makes the pigeon looks like it atleast has a purpose for its existance.
Eating bagels so it can then go a poop on people's heads. :D

The lighting is really great in this shot. Did you use any fill flash?

nope...no fill flash! i'm not actually sure how the lighting came out the way it did; it was actually pretty sunny that day! guess it was a fluke, but a lucky one! :D
