Without boundary

without boundary

Beyond the horizon of the place we use to live, when we were young in a world of miracles,
our thoughts would stray constantly and without boundary

Beqach-that is going to be an all time favourite pictureof mine. Absolutely stunning colour/texture there. I think that the repetition of the birds' heads- 3 facing forward like thatmakes such a strong composition. They merge with and emerge from the rocks...........thank you for this delight.

Beach, I love how the monotones and textures blend so well together here. The speckles in the birds match the speckles in the rocks. One bird is looking back while the others are looking forward, like they are all scanning the horizon, searching. The washed out background really makes the birds stand out. Superb composition and imagery.

looks like they're taking in the final heat of the sun before flight over the sea in migration .. anxious times ..

Sometimes, I wish we could put sound in our posts. Literally I was doing the ooohh's and aww's thing over this one.
Love the white background and your script to go with it is just phenominal

Textures, contrast and detail make this an excellent shot. Well done.

This is lovely you capture a group of birds yet your words add a whole new meaning to the picture as always you can almost hear them chatting about times past ... Excellent as always Beach honestly you should start a tutorial Blog !! I for one would be an instant sign up


Edit the group of birds sounds a bit hard what I meant was the simplicity to the shot .... I sooo want to know your secret to your camera work never fails to stun me
