OH MY!!! I love this and I love your humor. The shot is so fantastic....I need to pull a 6 out of my bucket and give it to you. It is framed so good with the low angle looking up at the bird and the statue that is so expressive. The blue cloudless sky works well to showcase the whole scene. Nice work and the 6 is very well deserved.

Very funny, great title, focus is a bit soft on the bird, color and lighting are natural, good timing to capture this moment! Thanks for the smile this morning!

I know this is supposed to be a serious memorial statue and the exposure is very nice, but the bird, title and the angle used to catch the pose and pained expression of the statue really create a huge comedy factor! Nicely done.

A great perspective and a really funny shot. I love the clutching hand and the pained look on the face of the sculpture. The bird is well shown and the colors are very good. Best of luck in the contest.

Pity he was not standing on Donald Trump's head! Your nice composition gives us a fine look at your statue and what it is used for from time to time. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done and good luck!

Great photo. Good timing catching the bird in a precarious location. Use of color good. Vision clear. Quality of detail in monument uniform shows very well. Expression on mans face and body language makes for perfect title. Great job!

A great picture of the Pigeon sitting on top of the War Memorial Statue of a soldier in uniform & his hand on his chest with pain on his face while the pigeon unconcerned sits on his hat! Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus. Good lick in the contest.

Comment from Pamela Ruggiero


That actually happened to me one morning. I was walking into the building at work and suddenly this Canada Goosedroped its butt over the ledge. What emitted landed right on the top of my head. That is when I found out that birds go both #1 and 2 at the same time. Yuck. It was one of a mating pair that laid eggs on the top of the roof. This is a very humorous piece and is a good entry for this contest. Thank you for making me laugh. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

    thanks a lot Pamela; it is just a pigeon, not Canada goose.....

    Oh. I wish they would show the thread here. But, I mentioned a Canada Goose because one did poop on my head. I was only comparing that humorous experience I had considering it applied to your post. Thank you
