Greetings from the Critique Club!
I gave this image a 6 in voting, because I liked the use of fisheye and imagination, and never thought you may have been responsible for the bird's demise. Images of death don't tend to go over well, even if it's fairly clean - ie no blood or gore. Which is a pity, because death is all part of the circle of life, but too many people see death as a negative and will simply give a poor vote based more on sentiment than the shot itself.
The lighting looks a little harsh, I believe the high ISO of 400 shot around what appears to be midday, when shadows are at their strongest, added to this impression. The composition is OK, the cobblestones are great for texture and contrast against the feathers, but try a) removing the border and b) cropping out the top so that only the wheel of the silver car appears. Pigeon also just past the intersection of thirds so looks very tightly cropped.
Overall, a very good try and clearly you had fun playing with the fisheye. Used carefully, lenses like that are a lot of fun, but never rely on just the lens alone to make a shot a good shot. That is still your job!
Feel free to PM me with any questions,
Susan |

Too late now but I should have added a disclaimer:
NO ANIMALS WERE HURT DURING THIS SHOOTING
I wasn't the murder either, this is a very common in the citty of Lisbon.
Thanks for all the comments. |

| Ha ha! This is cool! I put a photo up once that depicted a dead creature and I had people chastising me about it on here. Don't let 'em get to ya, this is a neat photo. |

Love the idea and composition. Fisheye works great here. Lighting's a bit harsh though. 7 |

| I really like this shot. Different perspective for sure and I think the fish eye works well for this shot. |

| I see your subject but it is a little too dark for me, I had to look really hard to see the victim. The perspective here is interesting. |
