I first looked at the kids, then the pigeons, and only then did I notice the "title" figure.
Great shot, Stamper!

Thanks for the feedback. Without the little girl on the move I don't think there is an image worth posting. I have no idea why she ran away.

Pigeons...very very frighting. They can be, sort of. LOL

The ambiguity here (why is she running away?) invites the viewer to imagine all sorts of scenarios. After seeing the fleeing girl, my eye moves to the standing boy eating something out of a paper cup. What is in the cup? Worms???  ;)

I like it. But then I'm partial to pigeons, kids and mysteries.
