take flight

spent a night in Kingston (Ontario) for work and ended up in a hotel along the lake... early morning was a stunner :)

[summerfield]

stunner, indeed! how's the temps? you still swamped?

[FotoBlah]

Excellent. Love the framing and timing for the positioning of the bird relative to the sun.

[Sally Ings]

Great moody atmosphere

[Joan Robillard]

The lighting is just enough to show a ripple on the water but not enough of a ripple to distort the reflection. Brilliant.

[Richard Sayer]

I don't do early mornings (but then I rarely go to bed before 3am) but I'm so glad you do... this is simply excellent Mira.

[Francoise]

wonderful

Just checking in with my Get Pushed partner for the week. Confessing to some nervousness. What on earth can I challenge you to that you do not already have down pat. I love your images. Something to aspire to...

@northy here is your Get Pushed challenge for this week - to make me a Hockney-esque collage. Use your own interpretation and any method to achieve it - Analogue or Digital, Photoshop simulation or online tool, the choice is yours.

If you have done this before or if the idea fails to float your boat, take the alternative conceptual challenge of "Pandora's Box"
