Materials and Methods
Nikon D80 + 18-55mm Nikkor + Grad ND filter + ND filter. Cloudy day so ISO 500 and later noise reduction in post editing was used. The camera accidentally focused on the tower and not on the pigeon so the pigeon is slightly blurry. Minor selective sharpening was used to compensate. Ideally a smaller aperture should've been used but the pigeon flew away after this shot. Channel mixer for grey scaling to selectively brighten yellow and green hues. Applied Ancient Warmth gimp script. See my FB page for the before and after post editing: [link]

Additional Comments
Back from a week long conference in Spain followed by a week long vacation in Paris and around Italy. Paris was definitely my favorite Really good food especially deserts macaroons and crème brûlée There are a lot of pigeons everywhere though...and people really like feeding the pigeons and letting the pigeons climb all over them
