Thanks Michael. Well, as I was about to shoot, the pigeon arrived. I was thrilled! I shot a few with him peeking over the edge, but I really wanted him to fly off so I could catch him like this. He sat for a few frames worth, and with my head leaning way back and 10 lbs of camera resting on my face, my neck was NOT happy. I was thinking about shouting to him to scare him off, but I knew that would jostle the camera, besides the fact that these guys could care less about people, thier shouts, and thier actions. Thankfully, he alit by about the 6th frame and I was so happy to nail him exactly where I wanted him. :) ~ Lonnit

Well, you did squeeze this in just before the challenge closed and it's altogether great that you did. Of course you've got leading line, I would expect nothing less from you. Nice symmetry importantly broken by the pigeon...kewl and simple piece. How long did you have to wait for that pigeon to fly? -Michael
