In flight

Another one for my get-pushed. See something in PP and do your own version - or this I don't have one inspiration. I reviewed PP several times and noticed a couple of birds in flight and bird picture. When I went to the beach at sunrise I took a ton of bird pictures. Rather liked this one. Obviously on the mend if I could get out for photos. Thanks everyone,

Well done, Joan.

[Richard Sayer]

Love this - sharp bird, blurred houses. Glad you're on the mend.

[Kathryn]

Beautiful colors!

[Suzanne]

Lovey muted colours, I like the inclusion of the houses

[Jean]

Pretty subtle colors. And I like the houses just barely showing - I feel like I'm in the air flying beside him.

Awesome shot!

[Lou Ann]

This is wonderful. I love the houses along the bottom of the frame.

[KWind]

Lovely... this feels peaceful!

[Taffy]

Joan, this is wonderful. Love the way you've used space, and that you have the tops of the buildings but only the tops.

[Mary Siegle]

I like the inclusion of the rooftops. It grounds the picture nicely.

[Kahsia]

The houses offer a sense of motion since they are out of focus, but you did a good job of following the bird.

[Kate]

I love the extreme framing with the houses at the bottom, and I like the blur. It's a cool photo!

[Diana]

A stunning image and wonderful tones, great job!

[Joanna kate]

The bird is terrific against that soft colour sky

[Margo Sayer]

VML your comp and how it makes the bird superior, far above such mundane territory and enjoying the freedom of the skies.

[Wylie]

Lovely shot.

[Merrelyn]

Nicely done Joan :)

[Paul]

Hi Joan,

thank you for giving me this challenge. It is a very good one. It made me think all day about what i like when i am at home ... :-) I might have a first go with it tonight.

Happy also to be again your get-pushed partner (we paired already last October). I had a look to your recent photos, and I would like to push you either towards "Full Abstraction" photography. This mean that we should not recognize the object/subject in the photo. Play with color, and shape, and possibly post-processing. But the important is that we should not recognize/guess what you have photographed.

A method to reach this is to do abstraction by decreasing the distance. You take a "macro photo", you crop part of it, and play a bit with post-processing (sometime cropping is sufficient).

Lovely tones!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

so beautiful!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I like the pale coloring of the sky- and also the slight blur. It really gives us the feeling of him flying along the rooftops. Nice shot. Glad you're feeling better!

[Tom]
