I was one of your 3 tens! (And it was the only 10 I gave in this challenge).
I really love this one, I thought it would rank much higher! |

The time has come for your Critique Club comment!
Your subject quite obviously meets the challenge, which is always a nice start. What is really interesting about your shot to me, however, is the selective saturation. Keeping the one bit of graffiti colored draws attention to it very well, but at the same time doesn̢۪t steal the show from the front and center pigeon. Your title really helps to make the photo, which for some voters might be a negative. Having said that, I think your title is great and I really like it. The stance of the pigeons is perfect for this, and the graffiti in the background and street setting really make it look as though they̢۪re trying to be tough. Great use of humor here. I like the offset subject, and the choice for aperture was perfect, keeping the background pigeons and graffiti in sufficient focus to be recognizable but not distracting.
My only issue for this shot is that the focus could have been a bit sharper on the lead bird, there seems to be a small bit of softness on the eyes. Maybe a high pass filter or maybe the noise ninja was a bit overdone?
All in all, good job.

| I like the fact that all pigeons seem to head the same way. |

| Ok, simply put, freaking awesome shot!!! I only had 2 10's and this was one of them. I love the composition, and I think the graffiti really sets it off. This better Ribbon!!! |

| This is great, pigeons in a rugged city life, low contrast looks great. Title matches the image too! 8 |

| Heh!! Definitely fun. I like that you left that wee bit of graffiti with some color (and I normally don't like selective desat) - works well with your gang theme here. That, and your lead pigeons definitely has a "don't mess with me" stance thing going on. |
