Hey Major
Very dramatic though I've a funny feeling that I wont be the first to suggest a crop off the top probably a far down as the tops of the trees (leaving a little space for them to breathe of course ) With the birds slightly downward trajectory I feel that the space at the top is surplus.
Cheers
Andy

Very imaginative. Bet this would look good in a large version.
Well Major, different it certainly is. Would I have said it was one of yours?
It's such a departure I need some more time to ponder. Graphically it has impact and as said earlier, would be good BIG, perhaps as a 48 sheet poster to appreciate it more. Andy's suggestion of a crop is v. good, how about pano or would that be too much?
Nice one.

Thanks for that all and yes its definately not me but it has to be part from now on.
I kept being drawn to this image and its right to say bet it will look good bigger as I happen to think it does.
I did think about a bit off the top but was mindful of making the image look to dark over all but will give it a try.
As it was something very different for me I am even more interested to see what people think but am sure that it is one of those you either love or hate.
Many thanks.
Major.

Very different Major love the blur and the almost monotone colour to the image I like the space the sky gives the image,and you have changed your letter style on your writing I like it alot

Hmmm.. very challenging! Actually, I'm going to suggest a different crop. Try taking away a lot of the black at the bottom, leaving a very minimalist composition with the bird in the lower left corner - I like it then!

Can't quite decide onm this one Major - I think both crop suggestions would work but I fear that the heading away angle of the bird isn't helping you much. This sort of stuff really takes oodles and oodles of doing (and wasted images) so keep it part of you in the future too as it's eye opening in the process.
