cafe in the air Photo

Photographer’s Note

I guess it's time to end my visit to the cafe at Helgoland sea bath, perhaps the swallows knows a way out.

Torben, if your mind is as cloudy as this picture, it surely is time to get out of the cafe ;-) The composition is nice, I especially like the sign, but the swallows are also of additional value. The one flying away gives a feeling of freedom. The dark frame works well on this composition.

Excellent shot, Torben. I like the cropping very much, with the cafe sign on the air, the diagonal wire and the bird. Nice dramatic sky. I think I'd try more contrast, but still, I like it very much.

Very well composed shot with not one but two symbolic elements flagging the end of your visit , Torben. The sky forms a nicely rendered backdrops for all those symbolism.... or is part of it?! Very fine work.

nice pic here, the clouds are very nice and the cafe sign is cool, how high is it really?

Very, very interesting composition. That sign almost has a magnet forcing us to look at it dispite the huge amount of sky. Also like the contrast of geometric and free form shapes. How the the sign contrast with the clouds in this respect and how the swallow do the same with the triangle made by the pole, the wire and the frame.

In this case I would prefer a little bit less noise in the image

Oh - my guess from seeing the thumbnail was an airplane departure - but the swallows nice to watch and the dark sky a fine background for this sunny shot.

Also an interesting composition you got for this shot - fine work of yours :-)
