i don't know even I shall comment on any photo seeing that so many controversies going on. But just stopped by to say that I liked the photo. It has something which is not typical of DPC. Looks like a virgin photo untouched by post processing sin. Got me thinking soon you would be doing heavy post processing and this freshness would vaporise.
Nice fresh one it is though.

Originally posted by SandyP: Oh!!! Zxaar!!!! What an aMAZING fine art photo! Thank you for sharing so eloquently the story behind it. It makes it even more magical. I actually think this time, I prefer the color version over the black and white. It seems somehow to tell a little more of the story. The lighting and shadows are exquisite. You are a painter. . ..I can see this as a huge painting. How beautifully it would enhance a room! Congratulations on a most unique and beautiful capture.

You can see I am very attached to this one.

About its being painting, yes. My wife always telling me that I keep on making portraits for people but have not done any of my daughter. I am going to start painting again, hopefully as soon as we shift into new house where I will have a dedicated room for myself. So that I could put colors around without having to worry about someone treading on them.
I remember a photo of a baby in your portfolio, that one photo is always in my mind. I can not seem to get it out of my head.

The best part of this is the way you have composed it. And the framing really brings the subject out. Me, as a painter always seek this type of compositions.

I have so so feeling for it. Liked it but I would not jump out of my chair with WOW. I think you entered what you liked and not what could have scored well. You surely know how to score well.

OOOOOOOO, the blur has killed it. Could have been a good photo but the blur. I am not sure if it was intensional but it does not gel well with DPC crowd.

I liked tones in it, but because I do not have much understanding of photography it would be difficult to make any helpful comment. It is good photo though.

The dark version was my original vision about this photo. This is what I saw one I shot it.
I asked my brother to stop car and jumped out of it and took three pics. It was so surreal, these white birds flocking this tree while the day was dying, right there in front of me.

For the pastles version, I guess time to time painter in me comes out and I try to have party with colors. This is one good thing about being hobby photographer.
