(Day 231) - Friendly Neighborhood Pigeon Crew

There was this particular pigeon I wanted to get a shot of, but as I attempted to take his photo, he flew way up to the top of our neighbor’s roof. Was using my 50mm so he was too far away for a photo. Thought about coaxing him with food, when all of a sudden he flew down next to me at a safe distance (probably thinking I had food). Thought it was nice of him to land close enough for me to get a few shots in, so I decided to award him with some tasty bread. Suddenly, a bunch of pigeons came out of no where to gobble up the bread! Therefore, was able to get a few more in the photo as well.

Nothing like a little bribery to get a good shot, love it!

Nice job of composing the shot. The line of birds from front to back leads your eye right in.
