This girl was trying to feed the pigeons on a pier in Seattle as I watched from above. She held out a french fry and waited for a pigeon to approach. She stayed completely still...until the pigeon actually bit, at which point she screamed and started giggling with her friend.

Nice diagonal composition! The fries plate is a bit too obvious and whitewashed but then it also helps making it a triple sourced image.

Screaming and giggling, isn't that all girls of this age do?

love the framing. and nice background info. :-) (in vienna you'll see mostly old ladies feeding pigeons...)

Great shot! I love the look of her arm stretching across the lines of the wood, and the way the pigeon looks so fat and puffy!

Yeah -- the pigeon must have been milliseconds away from taking off to have his wings out like that. Lucky timing on my part! :)

This is such an excellent shot - great timing combined with a novel framing angle. A real winner.

A very interesting perspective indeed. Did you shoot this from second floor or something?
