Free like a bird

This is my husband 'flying' with the seagulls, I made this picture

last week on our holiday in Portugal, I love to hear your thoughts

about this one, thanks in advance, Els

Cool! I like the composition a lot: it's very appropriate for the particular sense of freedom I think you want to communicate. I think I understand it well because in my life I look for it whenever I can and the dress your husband is wearing is my favourite one: a bandana and nothing else! I would be very curious to see how this photo would appear in colour. Regards!

It was so amazing this experience, walking on the beach Mauro Carli, walking between 1 km of seagulls, and as soon we came the seagulls fly up amd land behind us, and to be completely naked for a 20 km walk, is a GREAT feeling of freedom and I am glad we share the same thing

 

And here the original without any adjustments and crop

 

kind regards Els

Leuk zoals altijd, en origineel natuurlijk! Je kunt hierbij weer een mooi staaltje filosofie bedenken. Nog snel wat groetjes vanuit Nijmegen! Pim

Ha die Pim, het is altijd fijn je te zien, and for sure, we kunnen met deze fotot van alles bespreken ;D

 

groejes uit Leeuwarden

Well titled. Nice conversion to b&w. My compliments! ~~~~~~~~~~~~Linda

Thank you for showing me the original shot: you have done a terrific b&w conversion!

Linda, thank you so much for your complements

 

Mauro Carli, you are so very welcome, I am happy you do like the cropped and B&W version

I think this is one those images that does not need a title at all. It has a story, a scenario and tells it well! Looking at the original I like your B&W conversion too. Great holiday shot!

PS. And since you allowed us to view the original, I just wondered if a slightly wider crop that showed us a bit more of beach at the bottom of the frame and just a bit less of sky above would have worked even better. Just a thought

Thank you so much Mike for your thought, it is much appreciated

Freedom !!!

Thanks Alon for your visit and comment, I always like that

 

with love Els

Beautiful work,dear friend!

But everybody doesn't dare to fly like birds!

Fantastic capture and the presentation. All the best. Rgds.

He is out-numbered by the gulls, he better be careful...

Bobby, Kaushik and Shawn, thanks for taking the time to give a comment, I am very happy with that and it gave me also a BIG smile

It looks that you both have had a great vacation, and felt free as all the birds in the photo.... Nice B/W , well converted, and has also a sens of humor and mischievousness....

Dear PN ina, mischievousness....what a beautifull word, first time I did see this, naughty it means I understand now, and yessssssssss we had a GREAT vacation, all the way, it was good to see this beach again, when I was living in Portugal, I did look for shells almost every day, and you can be there naked and feel free, and as extra was this line of seagulls as far as you can see....

Nog nooit gaf ik een reactie op een opname met een blote kerel...

 

Voor deze opname en voor jou maak ik graag een uitzondering...

 

Het is een fraaie plaat geworden, mijn complimenten!

 

Ik hoop dat jullie echt genoten hebben van de vakantie daar...

 

Hartelijke groeten uit een te fris Assen,

Hallo Ruud, voor alles is een eerste keer, en ik snap best dat je niet op naakte mannen regaeert ;D.... Maar dit gaat net ietsje verder dan alleen een naakte man, dank voor je lange comment, het is goed je hier te zien

 

Els
