I was lured in by the deceptive title. I was not amused.

I suppose you could have left the thread then - bexause you were "forced" to reply i will issue you a complete refund. In the future i will consider your "amusement" as the litmus test for my threads. Maybe i should have researched the fact pigoens are not "homeless" afterall.
j/k i will not do that. relax kid. Its a great photo and maybe others enjoyed seeing it.
Thanks for the link. I was wondering about feather bowling. You Belgians are a crazy and wild crowd.I was lured in by the deceptive title. I was not amused.

I enjoyed it. Pigeon racing was a big part of my life growing up in Detroit. My Belgian neighbor raised and raced them. There was a Belgian place called the Cadieux Cafe (still there) on the east side of Detroit that supported the races, along with feather bowling, and bike races. The place made it in Sports Illustrated.

I definitely wasn't expecting pigeons when I read "homeless", but technically wild animals don't have "homes" so I guess I can see the humor in your word choice.
I like her whole presence in this shot. I love that she's looking right at the camera while in the middle of this scene. The dynamic range in this shot is great too. Did you do any HDR processing or was this just how the camera captured it? If you don't mind answering, what camera did you use?

Thank you dan. I used PS fake HDR filter pack I bought years ago. I can't remember the name even. This wasn't straight out of the camera in the least - I processed my entire Downtown Detroit Day similarly - I thought the blight and the gray and concrete needed...maybe vibrance? That was with my 1DMarkII N. I believe my lens was 70-700f4 L - although it might have been a closer shot with my 17-40 f/4 L. I can check the exif at home. I think this shot may be among my favourites ever - for the reasons you mentioned. The pic warms me a little bit.
