It's a pigeon and should not be destroyed in the name of art! It adds a further dimension to this busy but clean photograph. Second thoughts, and looking closer at the first one: don’t crop.

I can find little to fault in it - but if pushed I would try and crop so that whatever is creeping in bottom left is removed. The expressions of all the players in the picture create the strength. What's been said between the humans that has upset the middle panda? The sixth picture is up there too. The dog looking out and the little girl looking at you. And the angle of the car they're in/looking through completes the triangle. Thanks for arranging yesterday's outing. I have learnt so much. The first photograph is incredibly strong.

However I do like to play with the form of a photograph through framing decisions-- this might make it look odd in some places. The actual workprints look better than the scans here on the site..
