The Tao of Flight

Comment by undieyatch:
A good entry for this challenge..... Exhibits a interesting capture of a physical attribute of the bird in flight. Motion in the water and on the bird portray a natural optical effect that develops a enjoyable rendering for this subject. I voted 7 for plenty of canvas space & subtle overall contrast in the water w/ beautiful shadow/reflection under the soft but appropriately defined dark bird.

Yes, separation is the word. A striking image, very disturbing and moving. The eye contact and the open palm imply strong connection, and the dirty glass severs it. One gets similar feeling from some Bergman movies.

The picture must show a 10, it is not enough to say it in the name, very good picture though.
