I love how the image is such a brain tease. A reflection that is not a reflection. More of an alter-ego. The focused bird seems to be contemplating the other. Gorgeous.

Ps. I see I wasn't the only one who thought so.


Certainly no need to apologise - I took it as a compliment.

This seems a bit nontraditional for you; I certainly didn't expect this was from you, which is neither good nor bad. I like how the reflection is facing the viewer, yet blurred, while the clear and sharp bird is looking away.

ETA: I see now that it was another bird... I had interpreted it as a reflection, but either way, the repetition works very well.

I would have guessed this was Wendy's. Wonderful dance indeed!

Exquisite. For me, the imagery is straight out of Jonathan Livingston Seagull. If you haven't read it, you should, it takes all of 20 minutes!

I like all the white - I think it adds to the focus of the top bird's focal point. I like the lack of clutter and the stop-action of the bird. 8
