I'm just disappointed none of them say "BIRD" underneath.

Dan,
Super shot! It sure pays to cast your eyes toward the sky. Talk about "decisive moments."
Did you use a digital or film camera? The only way the shutter delay in my digicams could take a photo like yours, would be by pure luck.
Bravo!

Great juxtaposition, Dan. Your pidgeons look different than the ones over here.

Good catch, Dan,
I especially like the alignment of subjects.

I think that could be because they are doves of some type and not pidgins. |

Thanks guys. I don't know what variety of bird they are - Anne called me out to photograph them as they lined up on the wire in the street. She likes to think they are doves.
They may be pidgeons. Whatever they are they sh*t on cars below.
Then the Airbus thundered by - Anne loves the planes - one comes in from Osaka about 10 to 8 each morning - and without fail she remarks on how amazing it is that those Pilots can bring that big bird all that way and land it on that narrow white line ... thank God she's pretty.
P.S. Les, it was the Nikon D200 (digital SLR - an antique compared to today's machines!), it has a pretty immediate shutter release. And the lens is even older - a Nikkor 70-210mm AF

Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.
