Love the tail! I think I prefer just the upper portion, though, either putting the bottom wire a little above the bottom edge or right on it.

I give you kudso for a brave compositional choice. THe bird works for me on some level , but the wire is not interesting and really draws my eye to it.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Way to show how composition can be king! I like how flat-out structural this is. Like block-based abstract art, the elements of the pattern itself is the picture - there is no pigeon, no wire - just your image... ...from which a pigeon and wire emerge. Like the Transformers of abstract art - this one hides in plain sight!

Critical stuff: Change nothing.

Overall: Inspired, clever, engaging and effective.

Artistic. In this photo lies the element of surprise and wonder.
Kudo's to enter this into a FS where 'generally' scapes and architecture reign.

Great composition. Tells more about a pigeon than a lot of other pics do.
