bird and bird or plane and plane

Klasse Mike, perfect.

Mike...you were in the rightplace at the righttime! Life in the fast lane vs life in the slow lane. I love it.

 

Also enjoy your new bio pic.....;-))

Merci hans, just an fly in the outer right bottem corner would make it unbeleveble.

Hay Linda thanks for the happy commend and the understood symbolics.

Good timing!

Nature takes a few million years to arrive at the seagull and the human race takes a few hundred years (say from Leonardo) working out how to do it and another hundred to zooming all those people about in an aluminium tube. Scary!

Interesting combination and well done

We might be happy Leonardo did not go for the crocodile, we might ended up in swamping instead of flying.

Thanks for flying by ;)

 

Did today see a special on Bjork, beatyfull experimental and creative pop artist from your Iceland. Enjoyed this special much.

thanks for visiting.

This is a very nice capture indeed, Mike. About the only thing that I would have done different is to take about 15% off the top - just a little too much blue sky for my taste. However, that doesn't diminish the impact of the two 'competing' elements in this image. My vote goes to the seagull. Man-made flying machines are exactly that. You can 'compete' with nature, but never equal the incredible intricacies that exist in most creatures. Food for thought... Thank you!

Thank you for reacting on the formal and content of the question ( the Photo). I agree nature keeps us busy and is source of inspiration, but equaling it is just a strive.

 

About the composition. I made the choice, to be the left corner accactly the point of intersection if you lengthen the diagonal of the plane. That makes the space above the plane. I could cut space by reducing the space on the left side and continue the diagonal idea than I can cut space above, but a feel that flying objects love space, I be kind to the objects ;~}

Very Nice to hear. She is a Great Artist.

Mike, I appreciate your explanation about the point of intersection and the fact that flying objects need room to move. My interpretation probably came about due to the direction both the plane and the gull are heading in - i.e. away from the top half of this image...

Thanks for your the thoughts, in a way photography leaves me always with compromises, it hardly ever fits completely, hermetic. Well, keeps us sharp and interactif ;)

accident?

Hi Mike. Long time no see. Nature v. machine or just co-existing perhaps. By the way, I have stopped using those ugly frames you used to complain about in my work.

Nice you are passing by, I am not to much on PN anymore. But still making a lot of photo`s.

good catch. i think it could be fixed up in photoshop for a little better color rendition.

It`s a bit bleu is it not, PS could do the job.
