Free, a photo from Dolnoslaskie, West

Photographer's Note

Free

Being 90m high above ground means being able to watch the world from a bird's eye view. Even watching birds from a bird's eye view. There is a great desire of man to fly, specially when you are that high. Everything seems closer, because things are smaller from this height. But we are never free from gravity, like birds are. They can choose where to rest, what view to take and when to fly. We can not. I admire their freedom, I wish I was a bird.

Technical info: Used zoom, rotated the photo and cropped in a square format, increased colours a bit. The roof belongs to the big St. Elizabeth church, the same church I'm taking the photo from.

Hi Aleks,
Excellent combination of graphic composition and action. Timing is excellent, I like the position of the wings. And the thick frame works well with this.

A fabulous shot, Aleksandar. I cannot recall seeing a lot of photographs which would show the freedom of action with such strength. The "movie" effect is unbelievable. Your note adds to the message, but the photo is saying everything.

My deepest compliments and thanks for sharing!
Alexander

...you may wish you were a bird but please don't try it - you are too valuable to us all here!!

A great location and worth waiting for the 'perfect moment' - a nice crop to the square - colours, textures, movement and stillness - nicely seen.

best wishes Kev

hi aleks,
this is a top-creativity here,
bit pitty it was shaken and another problem i recgnize with the dof - it should be deeper;
but an overall effect is superb, i can imagine this image being used in large-format advertisements!
best wishes, j.

Greetings Aleksandar ,
Beautifully done.The colors are great and the POV is amazing.
the resting dove and the one flying with a beautifully spread out wing is very impressive and peaceful to watch.
Your poetic note adds flavour to the picture.
Excellent work.

Hi Aleks,
Amazing shot, with a very original graphic result and an excellent note that gives more impact to the image. I love the pattern of the roof and its contrast with the foreground. The situation is funny and very well captured and composed. Congratulations!
