Don't cross the border, birdy!

Hi Pierre,

I really don't have any philosophical views on this image, not because there aren't any - I am just very weary of governments and congresses that bicker and lie and don't properly represent the people. My head is actually spinning and I'm very confused about it all. I do have to admit I don't really know what Country you live in, and that would help, then perhaps I could study up on what has been going on in the last 50 years. I have see a 'theme' like this in many of your wonderful Abstracts. I would love to understand your situation better. At the moment there are such atrocities all over the world happening every minute of every day (probably with even more frequency'. So many people are downtrodden and oppressed. I think things are beginning to 'swirl' out of control - It is a manmade situation, but I don't think if you asked those who have contributed to the situation would ever STEP FORWARD.

I really do find it all very sad. There are no 'band-aid' remedies or quick solutions anymore. But as I said, I would really like to understand the situation in your Country better, so as to better understand your works.

Always looking for a brighter tomorrow, Gail

Pierre, are you sure this is an eagle, looks to me more like a hawk, but it seems that the eagle infers more war experiences. A hawk is swift and it will fly away, anyway, the guy with the gun seems to be a bad shot! I am more of an idealistic pacifist!   Verena

Dear Gail, don't be upset! It's the history of the mankind and it's also the situation all over the world, like in my area which is called Balkans! And that specific situation is described above! It's all about greed, power, nationalism, interference of those who "export" freedom and democracy all around the world making that way a mess of it whole...that's about all!

Verena, I probably meant to ridicule the "innocent yearning for rights" of those who the eagle represents, otherwise I have more eagle like PSD files of the same eagle! The man with the gun as a matter of fact only defends his "courtyard" and that's me! And I was really among the defenders of my country in that senseless war for more rights of ethnic minority or was it more shrewd attempt for achievement of the for ages old territorial pretensions! I know what it was, in one word dirty politics which sacrificed a lot of innocent young "birds" for greedy purposes of the shrewd ones!

Thank you for your visit and comment!

If I were the bird, I'd rather die for my freedom to fly! Foolish bird, eh? Hahaaha... Nice one, Pierre.

Best regards, Ajay.

Thank you Ajay, I won't say nothing about your quick visit without exploring the subject through reading some of my replies!

PDE

Dude, I'm pleased that I pleased you! Thank you for making my day!

Hi Pierre,

Sorry to hurt your feelings, my friend! You're right. I just saw the picture and posted my comment without going through the preceding ones and your replies. I should have.

My dear Ajay, you couldn't possibly hurt my feelings, cause I don't have them and I just noted that you were like every serious, busy man short of time to get information about this picture which happens to be socially, politically and if you will - scientifically engaged! I'm on the other hand very much obliged and pleasantly surprised by your reacting speed to my meager so called invitation in this case!

So, don't worry, be happy my dear friend and thank you for your care and comment!

When I saw the picture few days ago my first thought was that eagles are bothering you again which was confirmed with a correspodence above.

I'm interested in a texture which resembles the water - one drop too many?

All the best!!!

Welcome, Nebojsa! Long time no see, my friend! I don't see water, not a drop?! Thank you for telling me that you see something like water, I wasn't aware of it!

PDE

I'd make your day any day!  epd

You made me this hour, call your brothers to make my whole year, dear friend!

PDE

Gladly and Happily.  Have a wonderful year, from my brothers and me!  epd

God bless you, my son! Amen!

Pierre,

Interesting composition and, as always, excellent processing!

From the birds expression, . . . either he's been "goosed" or a "warning shot" has already been fired!

Thought provoking image yet, with some humor in my thoughts!

Cheers dear Pierre,

Hey, Jim! Thank you for your precious visit and interesting witty comment!

PDED

Beautiful creative composition Pierre!

Redards,

Janusz.

Thank you, Janusz! You are very kind!

In my point of view, it is the hunter and his pray, the bird's eyes are showing the coming danger. A symbol of what human  are inflicting on  to nature. Well done ,Pierre.

Welcome, Pnina and thank you! I would be happy if you come more often, as in "the old times", ha!

PDE

Very interesting and also creative. The protective mood dominates here with great post processing while this hawk in the first plan gives main stamp. Čestitam Pero!

Sreten, thank you very much for the aesthetic observation! If you read one of my comments then you should have learned what is this picture all about and the theme is very familiar to you too!
