Hello Robert
Very life-asserting composition!
Well-done. Thanks for sharing

Hey bro,
Great picture. Good use of DOF and very nice lighting.. Well done. Good positioning of the main subject as well.
TFS,
Jon
That indeed is a detailed, rightful and knowledgeable tribute to the Aviation and the contribution of the human kind to it during all ages and times and at all places. Indeed even I had not known about Ibn Firnas before this and believed what i was taught. The image is well captured with the statue in clear and sharp focus with some good lights, pov and dof. The combination of clear and blurred focus works well in this pastel hued composition Robert. Good work...after a long gap!
also there is a man called hazerfen ahmet celebi in turkish history who did exactly the same took uf from the galata tower in istanbul...strange...

Belle photod' une belle sculpture qui parle de l' histoire arabe de l' aviation. Amitiés Thomas
Hi Robert
Beautiful photo (interesting, the background seems like inside a modern airplane).
I liked very much to learn about Abbas ibn Firnas. I didn't know about him.
My country (Portugal) is not far from Cordoba and in that time was part of that realm. Maybe Abbas ibn Firnas' heritage passed, 900 years later, to Bartolomeu de Gusmão, a Portuguese who worked on lighter-than-air airship design.
Yes,... we only know versions of historical facts.

Hi
nice aspiring moving monument, and good info to the image, thank you
Hi Robert,
I really like the way you've framed this lovely statue. Your note is interesting as well. I've been contemplating a hang glider ride which sounds a lot like what Firnas did. Wishing you health, love & Joy, Pat
