Awarded for Best Of 2012
This is a new comment series for me, so please bear with me while I find my style!
(Voted earlier)
This is one of my 10s - I like it very much. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:
1. It's a magic moment and you John have a habit of being able to find them. I believe Don asked you before (in relation to this shot) if you were a witch. It's a fair question!
2. The compositional elements are so good as to defy the candid nature of the shot - her expression, the multiple birds, the telephone-line-perch, the curious/hopeful cat, the repeating window pattern, the strong vertical lines and the dappled render of the building.
3. Your characteristic glowy sharpness is present as ever, I've tried to emulate and always failed. You've even shared the settings, but mine never look like this.
4. I'm returning to the verticals - I presume you perspective corrected this - it's made a difference; it is clean and neat.
But overall, it's the magic you bring in putting it all together. A great photo is one that is more than the sum of its parts. You manage to pull that off often, but here you have outdone yourself.
Bravo. |

| This is a wall hanger in my opinion, well done. Great timing, great processing, great story, great design. I just love how the other pigeons are waiting their turn as the cat wishes they were closer! |

Back to comment.
I remember seeing this shot (well, a similar one) and fell in love. I went and looked at my favourites to remember who you are but it wasn’t there! Not making the mistake this time. Strait to Favs and a 10. It’s perfect in every way. |

| Great Capture. You could easily have zoomed in on the woman only, but you had the creative instinct to include the cat for that extra kazam! very creative. |
