Nice shot. I like the bottom half of the image. The little kid with the yellow shirt makes the image.

Great photo Jeff it amazes me that the pigeons and the people so closely share their environment.

The hard light gives this a nice graphic quality. Interesting that all the people (except perhaps one) and the pigeons are unaware of you Jeff, all lost in their own worlds.

@grouser: Thats my problem,i'm so insignificant nobody ever notices me...:>( Sigh.

One bird for every person, I think ... and do they hose down these piazzas at night? I would think they would be 'plastered' with droppings, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I like your composition; you really captured the feel of the activity.

@Judy: Please tell me you didn't count them ?,I suppose they must,but i've never seen it,I do know that on certain tides the piazza's are completly under water.
