I really liked this photo...it was different, and beautifully photographed. Some comments mention the jogger, but I think it adds to the photo giving it a great contrast and perspective. This photo should have done better in votes, and that is my opinion.
I'm getting better at spotting your work, Zeus. This is lovely. It was in my top 10. It has a surreal, painterly quality to it. I love the juxtaposition of the lone bird flying and the tiny runner. A truly unique nature shot!
Added after reading the comments... I wrote my comment before reading any others. It is interesting to note that a couple of other viewers shared my experience.
A true work of art. The only thing that doesn't work for me is the jogger. It does provide some scale, but that scale makes the bird seem gigantic. I love the black background that makes the bird relly pop and the muted brown in the foreground. There is a train to a town called "Ribbonsville" you should hear it approaching.
I love the bird. I think the photo would do much better without the lower area. Just the bird against the black. That makes for a wonderful photo...maybe try it :)
Outstanding image. Given the simplicity of the over all image, I feel the person on the breakwater is a bit of a distraction. Of course that is just my opinion. 9
For me this would work better if the bottom part were cropped out and there was just a long horizontal image with the flying bird. The lighting on the bird is lovely.
