Street Photography can be beautiful. Bird on a Ledge by street photographer Mitchell Funk is an exceptionally distinctive example of shooting the streets of New York and getting a lovely image instead of a gritty image. With a 500mm lens, Funk selectively focuses on the pigeon in the foreground. At the same time, the background is rendered in a vibrant impressionist palette that echoes the natural colors of the pigeon. br Signed, dated lower and numbered 3\\u002F15 lower right recto, unframed, printed later and other sizes are available.
