soaring in pastels

Thanks for viewing.

Another fine Joseph Tury shot of a world I can not see with looking through his eyes. The eyes here just pull me in and grab me. All the composition lines and flow and color work, but for me, it is the eyes on this one. I may have mentioned to you before that I seem only able to see what is "there" (except for motion), and yet when others see beyond the "real" it is often very moving.

I don't know what the original looks like, but the choice of pastels in this really works and I find it inspiring.

Craig: I think it all began with my love of fantasy way back when. Now it's a blessing to be able to create some of my own. I really appreciate your comments!

Bob: Mr. Brilliant erased the original! I formatted my card for a photo shoot. grrrrrrrrrrrr. The wings are pretty close to my capture. The bg colours are provided by sampling bits of the bird. Thanks again for taking the time to comment!

Excellent capture and treatment, Joseph. The bird's pose and attitude are unique. Very good work! Regards!

and your fantasy is giving beautiful results, Joseph. I love the movement and the beatific aspect of the bird.

Beautiful pose and suggestion of movement of the bird!Very original!!

Cheers,Jim

This is really nice and a bit unusual, great composition.

Joe, this realy has a painting like feeling,the texture is great. I like the soft post peocessing in general,beautiful result.

I really like the pastel look to this and the movement too!!

Your magic can do he leaves the frame... Best regards//Nacho.

Fascinating image. At first I wondered whether it was a seal, but the tail feathers decided me otherwise. I would love to see the original (but ok if you want to preserve the mystery). I get the feeling of sky and clouds in the background.

I really like the direction you are going with your photography Joe. The pastels are very pleasing to look at and you've managed to capture the fleeting glimpse from the bird without losing the motion of the overall image. Nice.........

I don't know how you do it; but you have continued to elevate your photography with every posting; and this is clearly no exception. This is, hands down, one of my favorites of yours! You have moved far beyond mere documentation; which must of us engage in; to fine art; which is where you solidly are. Keep up the great work; and know that I am incredibly proud of you; and will continue to joyfully look forward to the images that you share with all of us! Drive on; you are the Man! Cheers! Chris

Amazing artwork!! I love the blending of colours into one another!! Beautiful stuff!!

 

Best regards,

Wonderful rendering of the bird, Joseph, why not!!! Best regards

Very fine work, the look of the bird captures the look of the observer. Warm regards.Glauco

Captivating work. Such fine composition. Regards...

One doesn't know is it a swallow or a dolphin, ha! Don't you think so Giuseppe?

Creative and extraordinary composition! I like the soft colours and the bird's movements; compliments for this splendid image! Maury

Very original execution. Congrats.

The response to this has been most fascinating to read Thanks Everyone!!

David: Thanks. He did most of the work. I believe his attitude came from his nest and mate. I didn't know this at the time!

Paula: I appreciate that. Thanks for reading the previous comments! Sometimes the ideas flow.

Jim: Thanks for coming by! He was a bit annoyed by me, therefore the look.

Inger: Definitely unusual. I was hesitant to post this because I thought it might be too unusual. I appreciate your warm comments!

Pnina: Thank you! The texture has an odd look but it works I think. I wish it had more of a knife painting look. Perhaps I can figure that one out.

Deb: Thanks a lot! The wing blur works , an accident caught because I was had the settings set for something else! Lucky me!

Jose: Thank you  for your many comments lately! I tried a few crops but this tight one looked the best to me.

Roger: Yes, I see the seal too.I  seriously would love to show you the original. It is a bit bland compare to this. I thoughtlessly deleted it. I haven't pulled that number for a couple of years!

Fred: Thanks. I've always wanted to do digi-art and I guess it's starting to happen. This was a happy accident of sorts. I wasn't trying to capture a motion shot so that is the reason for the blur.

Chris: Seriously man, your words mean a lot. I really appreciate your encouragement. I love the fact that you can enjoy different styles of work. You truly "get it". Thanks for all your recent comments my friend! You fire me up!

Vamsi: Thanks dude! You are too cool! Took awhile to get the blend to where I was happy with it. I use a graphics tablet for best results.

Richard: Why not indeed! lol! Gotta keep trying new things.Thanks man!

Glauco: Crazy look is it not? Thanks for stopping by!

Joseph: Always enjoy your visits. It's like "when birds dream!" :o) Thanks!

Marshall: Back again!!? I appreciate all your comments my friend! Yes, he could be a dolphin for sure! LOL. Thanks!

Maury: Thanks for taking the time. I enjoy your thoughts. The colour combination took me the longest.

Halina: Hopefully its original. Thank you very much!

Excellent creative work,Joseph. I am admiring the painting effect and pastel colours.

A smudgy wonder. I love the wispy feel to the wings.

I see the bird flying at a very high rate of speed then snapping his head around to look at me as if I am his prey. This demonic looking creature scares the hell out of me. Great post processing. I like the effects a lot. I just can not get past the demonic stare.
