Love the ruby red heels, the blur, the bridge detail, l'attitude, et, bien sûr, the crash course with the pigeon. Fantastique photo.

In all my trips to Venice, I've never gone up to the loggia level in Basilica San Marco to enjoy this bird's eye view of the piazza below. People as pigeons and pigeons as people. What a great take on this classic shot.

This tilt-shift image is incredible. It's like a photo of a dream! Definitely a moving and artistic look at San Francisco's Mission Street flying rats. Er, I mean, pigeons.

What a fantastic perspective! Love it. Really gives you a feel for Piazza San Marco as the hordes of pigeons experience it. Supa cool photo.

I was looking for pigeons in Venice, but somehow I happened upon these guys in Moscow. Venice recently ruled that it's no longer legal to sell food for or feed the flying rats that were so central to the St. Mark's Square experience for so long. I think it's better for the city and its preservation, but I must say that I'm glad I got to experience Piazza San Marco when the birds were at the height of their menacing numbers. Some of my favorite photos of the landmark square and its monuments feature the birds. And when I see images like this one, I only adore them more. It's definitely a love-hate relationship, but whether you're a fan or not you must admit the crazy critters are quite photogenic fellows.
