the chase

As I dined on my pasta and clam dish at my most favorite place in Venice - Campo San Giacomo Dell’orio – this little girl seemed to tirelessly chase pigeons. It seemed to be a game they played – she would not chase so hard and they would pretend to be scared away. I grabbed my cell phone to make this image.

The action,the joy of thing she do is visible from this photo,I see you like a lot to work photos in this style that has a painting visual impact.

Wow...Wayne beautiful action shot with wonderful painting effect. This one needs to be hanging in a gallery. Take care,.............Patsy

This one is among the most successful of your manipulated creations. The composition and interplay of light and dark areas work beautifully here. I also like the way the geometric background sets off the flowing action in the foreground. It really feels like a well-executed water color.I'll include this one in my favorites.

Many thanks, Radu. Yes, the little girl and birds seemed to take great pleasure in their chase and fly game. I think I watched them for nearly 20 minutes.

Thanks, Patsy. I felt the moment was special.

Thanks, Jack. This was one of my favorites for many of the same reasons. Thanks for confirming my aesthetics.

This is so fantastic, Wayne. A happy child at play. Trying to make friends with the bird. The colors, light and composition are all excellent. A very impressive work of art. Best regards, Paul.

Many thanks, Paul. I was privileged to witness this child and pigeons at place. I thought it would make for an interesting "painting".
