Karakoy Birds (5)

The day was dark, it felt grayish. Against the gray the orange bird

feed was colorful spot. And the wings.. The fluttering wings were

the motion. Yet it is not a bird/nature shot - it is bird/street

shot. Comments and critiques are most welcome.

Lovely dreamlike picture that i think would have been more interesting if you had cropped out the cube on the right side and then cropped from above the spread out grains to eliminate the less ghostly birds.

I actually did what you suggested and the result seemed too cropped out - like I had focused on a portion of the image (actually approx 40-45% of it). Then I thought it would be fairer to give the photo as a whole with its shortcomings as you have noticed.

I like it a lot, it looks like a painting... amazing...

I like it a lot! If one of the bird in the foreground can stays still (i.e. the bird will be in focus while the rest is blurry). Just an idea. Btw, thanks for your comment on the silk road pic, I follow your suggestion and cropped out the road on the bottom. thanks.

Richard, your idea is well received. The problem is that I was around 19 or so when I took this one - 11+ years ago. And I doubt anything here is intentional. I must have spotted the opportunity and clicked (as much as my 35mm remaining shots would allow for the the time). Thank you.
