Moon Shadows! Night flying sea gulls! (smiles) and so the hawk becomes an owl?

Great imagination! Azure sky with whitish clouds & moonlight producing distinct shadows in a desert(?).The owl watches us viewing  your  imagination. Nice original work with many functional elements & nice faithful lights as per situation.

My best regards.

My good friend Pierre,

This is another very creative work that is well executed.

You have pleased me immensely by adding the moon in the sky.

What ever high rating I would reward, the presence of the moon is another +7 !

 

Best Regards,  Uncle (astronomer) Mike

First I wasn't sure for this one whether to upload or not, then, when I decided to upload I wasn't satisfied with its look and I re-uploaded it with higher contrast and your kind comments mean a lot to me!

Long way to go, log time to wait... Exceptional work on top of exceptional post processing...

Very fun to look at Pierre. I like how you handled the shadows. Your bird seems a bit cross eyed though. Maybe he's looking at the end of his beak. Well done.

Cross-eyed bird talks to me and I will kick the bucket but who cares.  Maybe like to see bird head higher to cross the horizon a bit for bigger impact.  Rider on the dark horse coming for me, timeless saguaro, gentle clouds, shadows in the moonlight.  I like this... dark and provocative...

This one is more interesting, but the hawk seems to have been lit differently than the rest of the scene, as if you had used flash.  I think you could achieve a more natural look by darkening his edges (with a blurry boundary toward the centre), because they are adjacent to the background which would be brighter and would make him appear dark.  His centre is further from the brighter background, so it would make sense for that part of him to still appear bright.  best, j

Electric, this is American night, here is a detail of the explanation of that expression from Wikipedia:

Another way to make a more believable night scene is to underexpose the footage to the desired degree of night/darkness. This depends on the amount of light shown or believed to be in the given scene.

I must add that in the movies made with this technique everything is bright as the public wants it to see, the public wants details and no scientific true, so in the darkest night of the early color film movies you can see the artist's face or whatever is needed to be seen! And this is an abstract, surrealist abstract after all!
