Clothing styles have changed Rob, but pigeons have remained the same.
I like the colors you chose to bring this woman to life.
You are so skilled in this craft.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

You've given the impression of that era a nowadays look, Rob.
Although the original image was taken about 1911-1914, by your editing work, it's like it was taken recently.
S+F! Thanks again, 👍 !

Surely a unique capture, wonderful to view scenes from this time period. I am presently in the USA, have been here since end September and due to my caring for my twin sister who has MS, have not had the time to view and comment, will be back in Greece at end of the month. I do miss my participation with Caedes...but will catch up.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

To be without a hat in this society was the same as leaving the house without your pants. It just wasn't cricket. And the clever disguise of this pest-abatement worker, feeding doctored grain to the local flying rats, is a marvel of urban camouflage. She'd better stop eating that grain herself though, it's starting to give her that meth-head before her time vibe.

Nice use of selective colourisation. And yes, we call them "sky rats" as well ryzst. Not sure what you were trying to convey in your post though, but gave me a chuckle all the same. :)
