A brief walk round the park this morning before settling down to the desk work was a delight.
With the skies blue and the sun deciding to shine it felt like spring was awakening despite the severe cold. Our local robin population was out in force, declaring their various territories and as they chirped away I knew that I had my February word for the day in the bag. Onomatopoeia.
My get pushed challenge for the week, from Anne, is to explore the use of negative space, and I have framed this shot to do just that. I wanted to give the impression of the sound of the robin filling the air. whether or not I should have added the wording, I am not sure, but I thought it worth experimenting with.
@365anne I tried to use negative space on this shot and by adding the wording I am counting that as part of 'exploring' negative space. Does the wording counteract the negative space? I am not sure.
I like the added words- mostly because they are wafting like the bird's song. If they were straight it would ruin the picture. Nicely done for your challenge!
@helenhall I think the words bring much to the shot Helen, the fact that they are in a shade of the same colour as the background means they become part of the shot not just something added. Great exploration of the space and really meets the challenge!
Beautiful use of negative space, and the silhouette makes for a striking image! I love that I can still detect the sunshine even with your creative edit. Well done.
A FAV!!
