Feeding beasts, a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

Sparrows seem to attack the hand that feeds them, as if they were famished. Illusion, near Notre Dame, tourists are always here to help them.

This photo is absolutely not a superposition or anything else. This is ONE photo.

Well captured! It this one shot or a compo of four put together? Not that it reallt matters as it is very well done.

One of the best photos I've seen recently. Balanced composition, great motion blur, great moment.

Nice pic Stephane. Great sharpness and colour. Looks very similar to another posted on Trekearth: http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe/France/photo211494.htm

This is simply one of the best photos I've seen in ages.
The steadyness of the hand that feeds the birds nail's it, as it is the only none moving object inthe frame. The bird to the far right (in the vertical position) is absolutely fantastic, the detail of the wing feathers is remarkable.
Bravo!

I thin k this one out of the other six really has alot of balance in the photo. They are so graceful in midair!

Sweet black and white conversion this Stephane. I'm wondering if if it be better to remove the sleeve of the person or not. The rest of the photo is made up of an assortment of odd shapes and the "straight line" of the sleeve takes away from it a little.

Still a sweet shot though!

Thanks
