During a recent visit to New York City my mother, sister and I took a quick peak inside St. Patrick’s Cathedral. When exiting the church, this pigeon was sitting on the steps outside. It reminded me Mary Poppins. Do you remember the scene when she takes the children to the city and they meet the poor woman on the steps feeding the birds?
I intentionally shot this so that there was no room to the right of the frame. I was able to get so close to the pigeon that it seemed as though he was just standing guard and no intention of leaving. I shot the pigeon at several apertures, but F2.8 was my favorite as it made the stairs just fade away.
