Doesn't move me. What was your vision when pressing the shutter?

It's clever, Todd, but, like Chez, it doesn't move me.

I’m not a fan of photos needing titles to be understood, but this one might just qualify. Of course, given the ‘anything goes’ style of art that is so pervasive today, I think you might be on to something, Todd. ;)

Its a good story, but I don't think this image can tell it. This is my reply to someone on Instagram:

@xxxx  thank you! There were HUNDREDS of them all facing me on every available perch, and moving from perch to perch. I felt like I was in Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds! Five minutes later a car pulled up to the curb and they went Bezerk!!!! Out popped a little lady; she opened her trunk and they started swooping! BIRDSEED was habitually distributed, she got in her car and left!

Of all the images I made, I "liked" this one the best,  but maybe there is another that better tells the story. I will re-visit them. Thanks as always everyone, -/t
