Morning dance Photo

Photographer’s Note

The other side of the Schloss Park pond. It was early morning, I took a walk in the neighborhood.
On the other side you can see the tree from yesterday's shot.

I found that the ducks have a special morning dance here. And there is a rhythm in the space between the birds.

Are the birds in low part flamingo or ducks? They stand only on one leg! The foreground seems a pentagram (do do si si). Good light. Peacefull composition.

Very effective framing and excellent cpture of colors and feeling of the place! the positions of the ducks and sea gulls are ideal! Very well seen and captured!

A lovely and beautiful symmetrical shot,with use of the birds,very nicely captured and very well composed,...and fall's colors in the atmosphere add a more beautifully to the shot,I like it a lot,Yitzhak.

Wonderful synphonie. I can hear waltz in my head while looking at the two dugs. Very good composition with the two pairs of birds and the nice background. I like it.

Creative shot Yitzhak, simple, still effecful with fine details as the placement of the burds along the fine fence there. Very good

You series of Germany is wonderful Yitzhak, this one is perfectly of composition, excellent sharp and clear, the autumn colours on the background, together with the seagulls and the ducks is lovely, the soft reflections make a great image here!

Hello Itzik,
I dont know why you are Germany, but I am glad that you are getting a chance to travel again. This shot put a smile on my face this morning. It seems like you asked those two ducks to pose for you in an humoristic fashion. Very well done on the timing of your shot.

Fun catch of the "morning ballet", Itzik. Great timing not only to have the ducks facing the pond on one leg each, but also have the two gulls further up looking at you. The park setting in the back is again dipped into delightful autumn light and colors. Good one.

2 gulls and 2 ducks... and a great composition in front of that automnal lanscape. Well seen, Yitzhak!

Xalkida (11740) 2004-11-03 17:37

You have right Yitzhak: these birds have a rythm! Very nice and peaceful photo, I needed to calm down from the routine of my work! TFS!

The thumbnail doesn't do this justice, Yitzhak. Excellent diametrically opposed placement of the 4 avian subjects. Lighting & reflections are also excellent. Well done!

Nice picture and great catching those birds standing on one leg, the two white seagulls contribute to the frame.

Tres belle composition , j'aime le placement des oiseaux et le reflet dans l'eau . Une bien belle image .

Liora (1857) 2004-11-06 8:22

Wonderful capture Itzik - they really do look like they are dancing there... the gull on the left side staring right at you is amusing and the interesting bannister adds some good color and graphics.

how much did you pay them to sit like this? very nice compo with those duo's. Nice fall colors in the background too.

Bel equilibre sur les diagonales ici tenus par les oiseaux j'aurais pour ma part opté pour une profondeur de champ moins importante mais cela reste que mon point de vue .
Bon coup d'oeil Yitzhak bravo
