the bird is in such a classic, victorious, swooping pose and yet is humbly supported by that silly branch. This is a study in striving, in pride, in humility, in irony. 8.

Great composition here with the leading line of the stick and the pose of the bird all against the plain background. I think a contrast boost may have totally nailed this shot. Good capture.

What a wonderful image. I had to look really hard to see that both feet were actually on the twig. Only a couple of things could have improved this image. If the bird would have provided a profile view and a bit more detail in the sky (Tough to do with basic editing).

I like your photo.
Cedric, your well-behaved seagull/pigeon/whatsit is a good bird!
Good luck!

Nice capture but a bird's outstretched wings don't say stationary to me, they suggest movement.
