I was actually tried some shots for pigeons in the park. But I've seen this one and I like it.
Unfortunatelly the camera wasn't very steady during the shot, light conditions wasn't the best and so on...
Croped, desaturated and added a little noise in PS.

Please tell me your comments.
Thanks for attention.

I like it a lot. Its full of character. A shame we didn't get all of the guy in. But these are fluid moments, you get what you get. Nice shot.

I like it, even the fact the guy isn't all in the picture. You got the bird which is great and the expression on the guys face. If you waited even a second longer to try to get the guy fully in the picture it probably would not have turned out ay all. Very well done!

There is a message somewhere in that photo, but don't know what it is. Notice how the people in the background are looking away, as if avoiding looking at the poor guy. Or how it is tough for the poor guy to smile.

I really like this photo. The more I look at it the more I like it. It reminds me of "Fool on the Hill".

Where is the Tramp? All I see is some air rat and a smiling hobo.
Haha...you got me with the title...I thought it was like the Porche pictures and some stiletto, short skirt wearing hussy was feeding a bird.

I guess in Romania tramp means something different then in North America, but there was that movie "Lady & the Tramp" and that wasn't a lesbian flick, so maybe tramp also means hobo?

I like the slightly blurred effect, it adds the the 'dreamy' feel. As though none of this scene is quite real. I don't mean it's fake or setup, I mean the actual story that was going on with the man, and the bird. I'm not sure how to put it into words - sortof an ironic sense to how life turns out. HIs expression has the same elements in it - rueful, ironic, etc. Great pic.

Thank you all for your comments guys ! :)
I wasn't at home in this weekend so I've seen your comments just now.
Again, thanks a lot.

For the "trump" question :o: English is not my "native" language...so I've seen in dictionary " vagabond (in Romanian) = vagabond, tramp (in English)."
So as cjm said, I was thinking at "Lady and the Tramp".

So I guess I must thank you again for teaching me one new thing : that it was better to use "hobo" instead of "tramp" :)
