technically the song is "fly like an eagle", but those are not eagles, and the line that inspired this was the "time keeps on slipping" bit...
i'm reposting to implement a suggestion from @salza - still not sure this has quite the right feel, but any additional fiddling seems to be sending it further downhill, so here i shall stop for now... happy for any and all feedback...
for the composite challenge - this go around the theme is "birds"... this is a combo of three images - all mine... the background, the birds and the hourglass... i also attempted to add some fog in photoshop for "atmosphere"...
@salza - what you were suggesting made sense - thank you! still not sure that it's quite where it needs to be, but i do agree that the harsh horizon in the original edit was a distraction...
This composite absolutely illustrates that song! Before I read your commentary I was already thinking- it's like time is slipping away with the birds. Great work- as usual!
