FLY, a photo from Pieria, Macedonia

Photographer's Note

When I was a kid, I always thought it would be cool to learn to fly.Maybe because of that feeling of freedom ...there on sky no one can stop a fly
Just imagine you can fly out of the window, through the street and to the countryside. ... the feeling of being free in mid-air is sensational...even if I feel this only in my dreams :)

Hi dear Isabela,
Very nice moment captured ! Great moment frozen ! You didn't give any notes but I think those are a very special type of seagulls, which fly very serious just over the water surface. If not they also like very similar to bea-eaters !
Very good sharpness.
TFS and best regards

PS.How nice to be the first !!!!

Hello;
very well captured ;great timing and dramatic clouds..remembered me the lyrics of Fly from Celion Dion...
..Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light..

Nice minimalism, Isabela. I like the position of the birds inside the frame. They seem to be so free. Good job, Nino.

Bonsoir Isabela,
Trиs bien exprimйe cette pensйe de pouvoir voler librement dans le ciel,la photo est trиs jolie et poиtique.
J'ai eu en partie cette sensation lors d'un vol en parachute ascentionnel en Tunisie.

Ciao Isabela,
One of my hobbies is to fly with small planes called "ultralight". My dream is to be as a bird, free in the sky, like yours birds in this shot. Very nice.

Bravo pour cette merveilleuse compo.
Amitiйs,
Rosa.

Hi Isabela,

simplicity is sometimes much more than any image full of elements. I'm in love with this one. The birds are well placed in the frame and the dual color tones of the sky make this shot a lot graceful. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos
PS: thanks for your words on my last post.

Hi Isabela,
my favorite subject... Birds and ornithology are my main hobby... I would like to learn to fly... it would be fantastic! Nice shot of terns, well comoposed, with interesting colours in the background (the sky and clouds). I like it.
Best regards,
Andrzej

Hello Isabela,
What a beautiful simple and appealing composition. And the symbolism pretty much conveys how I feel at the moment. Thank you for the very kind words. Being sick reinforces you to re-think about life's priorities. Time is a very fleeting moment, and one should enjoy it with your loved ones. My best wishes to you.

andante (7092) 2007-10-22 20:19

Love the minimalistic approach. It gives me a sense of freedom... the lyrics of the old seventies song comes to mind: Fly, Robin, fly...
Excellent use of the negative space.

Cheers,
Enrique

Bonjour Isabela,
image de libertй, celle des oiseaux dans le ciel libres de tous mouvemnts, sans frontiиres, sans papiers, sans devoirs...
Un trиs joli ciel d'ailleurs.
Imaginent qu'ils soient photographes, que de belles photos ils pourraient faire de la haut;

Amicalement.
Daniel.

aimee (941) 2007-10-28 6:24

Hello Isabela,

I choose to comment this one because the feeling of freedom and peaceful is strong here. You're right.. I guess the dream of each child is once to be able to fly. Here the birds are well taken in this sky. And we can see their wing'smovement as well. Very nice...
Have a nice day

Aimйe

AROBN54 (11475) 2007-10-29 10:00

Hello, Isabela!
What a wonderfully captured moment. They are so pretty contrasted against the blue sky and white clouds. Totally amazing the way you have stopped the action of their wings and gotten such good detail. I love bird photos and this one is outstanding!! Great job!! Warmest regards,
Shelly
