but my fav bit is the almost silhouette of the person in the doorway . .
gives this relaxing and meditative image a rather interesting vibe ..

A Simple Life; Eat, Fly, Procreate.

love this Larry .. !! ..
in dpc ppl can be very black and white .. in that they often dont see the implied ..
which is fine ..
simplicity can be seen straight away in an image .. or it can be something that we appreciate gradually ..
this is the latter ..
life can seem quite simple for birds .. especially when compared to life for us humans ..
i like your title .. :)

Dancer in the Doorway

its such an interesting image .. in the best sense of the word ..
maybe not that simple .. but its really the test of how much ppl can identify with or appreciate an image .. when you end up top 10 with something that doesnt quite satisfy the challenge ..
i'm glad i saw this photo .. there's so much i can take away from it .. :)

this is very lovely Catherine .. and i wonder about that tree .. it looks quite thin and delicate .. and yet it seems to be surviving against the odds .. just my take .. :)

Fly-by

Comment:
yes .. its sometimes so hard to decide which way to go with our edits .. leave that wing in .. or take it out ..
from my perspective i actually like both .. in .. and out ..
they both tell a different 'story' ..
anyhoooo .. something i love about photos of birds in flight is their legs and feet .. the legs stretching out and the feet ..
some feet are cute and endearing .. and some are powerful and mean business .. this .. to me is the latter . !! ..
well caught .. and loving the tones .. :)

LIFE

i particularly love how they are almost touching .. gives an emotive quality to this very simple image .. an image that each viewer could take away quite a different story and feeling ..
also i love the simplicity .. something i find very hard to accomplish in my own photos .. :)
