Moon Birds

The original photos of the moon and sea gulls were manipulated in

Adobe Photoshop CS and the black frames created in Adobe Illustrator

CS; the clouds and stars were rendered in Photoshop.

I have always been facinated with those painting compositions of

Rene Magritte, surrealist, that juxtapose day with night within the

same temporal dimensions thematically. My work appears frequently

to be ongoing studies in composition. Although my deviate behavior

is likely reaponsible for content, I leave theme, evocation and

interpretation to the viewer. What do you think?

Timothy, This is a lovely playful and in the same time enigmatic creation.ptimistic image.

As you write, you value composition a lot, I wonder - If you crop the image at right, just to cut/touch the bird above in the same way as the left bird is cut, then you will end up with an image according to the old conmposition rules giving us the feeling of continous flock of birds (flying).

(reminds me of my image called Wish I could Fly)

You have a sharp eye Jana! Good observation; when I was searching for images to catch this momentum of flying, I had to work from an archive of birds I'd just taken at Atlantic Beach NC about a month earlier. The bird in question that has what appears to be a clipped wing was at first flush with the right edge of the framed composition; but as things unfold, excited by a new idea for the composition, I moved it to create the caravan in flight forgetting about the clipped wing. Well, then I got so many wonderful responses after I posted it, I decided not to fix it because as you are aware, I would erace all related files and comments. I have, however, fixed it on the original photoshop file. Thank you, I am honored you felt comfortable enough with my work to mention this little snag. Thanks so much for your comments on my work.
