Storm Watchers

Outstanding image!

Hi Dave, IS ?......this a movie set ????. If this is for real, then it is absolutely BRILLIANT !!!! - Best Regards, Chris Womack

Innocence drawn to a dark brooding pastoral nature framed by an awkward quail. One hopes the gate, a metaphoric timeline, will protect her from her cheerless future.

Very nice composition.Regards.

Just PERFECT!

Wonderful atmosphere! Beautiful image Dave! Kind Regards Andrea

hauntingly beautiful. Congrats!

Excellente - Pure beauty and great atmosphere.

This is fantastic - I love the way that you've captured the drama of a stormy day. The sunshine breaking through under the clouds means that you avoid it bing sinister. I can't quite work out whether we are watching the storm WITH the child and the bird, or if we are watching them as well as the storm, but that is part of the appeal of the photograph. Well done.

Superb piece of work - a real masterpiece. Well done! We can only drool in envy (and hopefully learn something from you!). Rgds Carole

Beautiful photo, I could have have sworn I've seen it before, has it been published?

I can see this on the cover of a children's book. An absolute classic and a truly top image.

I really would like to thank everyone for all of your positive comments.

Published? Well, I wasn't informed. This is also on Flickr.

What I'm most amazed at is the over 15,000 views, shocking. With that many view, this image could be anywhere. I also have another version but anyway ~ Thanks to all and, Merry Christmas!
