The pigeon seems to have the attitude that he is comfy, and he's not moving for anyone. Great shot! I love the 2nd one. It is so crisp and clear, and the angle and colors are awesome.

That first shot is comical in the extreme...great capture.

Second one is just, wow. Its one of those ones you see in promo brochures for venues and such like. Great composition and love how the colour of the seats and tower compliment each other.

Thank you very much .. I was lucky with the 2nd image ... I snuck up on stage when there was no one around and the sun was at the perfect angle .. an hour later, it was glare city .. I appreciate the kind words

What a great find that is in the first one Hayward. He looks so content next to the flames. And the second one is just amazing, great perspective and a very interesting way of showing the auditorium. This is excellent work my friend, always something different.
