Excellent, excellent capture. The expression on the young boy's face is so intent, the colors in the background so vibrant and the birds silhoutted by the sun, all make for a fabulous picture. I love it.

Why is the boy so serious? Or is he just concentrated?
Lovely backlight through the birds feathers.

Another excellent timing... Love the feeling of action and movement!
I most add that the boy is probably so serious because he is really concentrated. As any one that had pigeons land in their arm as a kid knows, that these birds are heavy and so unpredictable... And as a kid, you see the world bigger as it is to begin with... :)

I like the way this one puts the compositional focus more on his face.

What a cute and fascinating series! I like the red colors in the background and the birds but above the face expression of the youngster (I cannot assess him/her as a girl or boy, considering his/her hairdo): concentrated, fascinated, deeply enjoying the moment.
