About Taken after this boy ran and chased a bunch of birds that gathered on the steps. I like the look on his face after he was finished.

PS Work: converted to b&w, adjusted tones, added borders and cropped some of the image.

Fantastic portfolio, Paul, congrats on your many awards! I love this picture, it has so much going! First the expression of the child, then the birds, then the rough stone steps and the column, then the superb B & W treatment. It all comes together with visual and emotional impact, plus great technical quality. Everything is there! Best regards, Ina

Great image, and congrats on the award.
I have a photo I took in Venice, that I want to share with you, because I have been messing around with it, on and off for months, and feel it has a lot of potential, but can't seem to get comfortable with it.
Its also a "bird" image ... of a little old lady feeding a hundred crazed birds. I'll try to get it posted over the weekend, and would appreciate if you'd look and give me some thoughts /advice.

Hi Paul,
First of all congratulations on all the well deserved awards! You have a really top quality portfolio with lots of variety.
I could have chosen almost any to comment on, but this one stands out for me. It is a really nice street shot with a lot of great stuff going on in it. The great smile on the innocent little boy, the action provided by the pigeons, nice composition and faultless exposure. Well deserved BIP.

Hmmm. Alfred Hitchcocks' film "The Birds" would soon wipe that look off his face! My dog pretends to ignore birds until he's quite close but I KNOW he'd love to catch one... not so easy! A dozen wild ducks were all lined up in a semi-circle around him the other morning (at a safe distance, of course), but--no camera! Argh!!

Ok, I like the birds in motion, the exposure, the contrasts, that it is in B&W, the boy's expression, his eyes, your composition, the texture to the steps...yeah!

I would be a little freaked out with that many yard birds around!
