Brilliant...on two counts...for being brave enough to turn away from La Tour Eiffel & for a capture that is fresh and very, very stylish!

I love the bird on her sholder that is part of the statue and the real one sitting there in the corner.
Great shot!

Even though you publish shot in color not very often they are most of the times really stunning. The gold looks so brilliant and the dove adds an interesting details...

Great shot Ian. That gold is magnificent. The pigeon adds an extra enchantment. Good work

Very well composed. The golden stones at right match the gold of the sculpture, whereas the straight lines of the stonework contrast the round shape of the sculpture.

Like what you've done with the subtle, dusty colors. The limited range is very effective. The exposure, too, is just right. Really a wonderfully soft shot on numerous counts.

Excellent light and the everyday pigeon in the corner. Your B&W work is magnificent but sometimes I feel you should post more colour and this is a good point for it.
