Pigeon girl

A photo taken at the main square of Krakow old city which is dominated

by pigeons (and tourists feeding them). Thank you for your opinions.

NICE B/W SHOT THANKS ALLAN

That is beautiful Pawel . Her expression is so emotional

Lovely shot, Pawel.

very good..congrats.

Beautiful shot, very expressive. Pozdrowienia :)

Great shot, Pawel.

 

And this side Pawel, the freedom and peace that the pigeons are a symbol of.. one vs. the other. Highly touching images for me.

the texture of the shot is rich. her expression is left to the viewers emotional interpretation. excellent light and composition. regards, J.K.

Great shutter speed--fast enough to freeze your subject, but slow enough to allow a little motion blurring in the pigeons.

like the girl expression!!!

expression, mood, tones, light & DOF r perfect here. well done. regards!

Pawel, this is a subject we saw so many times since the end of the first world war. We come back to this image of a young girl and pigeons in her hand time to time in photography and other visual arts, when we feel hopeless and betrayed. Ironically these symbols carry our hopes; maybe soon, maybe sometimes, maybe in our time, maybe in our children's or grandchildren's times there is going to be peace. Is it an illusion, maybe, but a good one to have and hope; it will happen. Your immage is a honest and simple one, carries all the hopes I described above, well spotted and captured, straightforward and comforting. Esthetically perfect, technically excellent as it was mentioned by others.. But your greatest achievement; you keep us believe; there is hope. Thank you for this image Pawel. Best regards; Laszlo

Hope springs eternal. Wonderful shot.

Very much natural.

 

Regards...

A touching and emotional image for me. So beautiful, so gentle. This needs no critique from me. Wonderful photograph.

It is very melancholy. I love it so much. I love her expression too. Well captured. Thank you for sharing.
