    Default Theme: Something completely different for me

    Greetings. The something new was an idea of combining two very different images and I somewhat randomly came up with this. The original photos are of the I'iwi, an endangered Maui native bird, and of my daughter performing in a contemporary ballet piece (uh, not sure if I'm going to show this to her or not ;-).

    Cheers,

    Behind the image is a serious theme, but I can't help smile at the humor. Of course it fits the birdphotographers.net website perfectly.
    I think your daughter will really like it (well maybe...)

    I love it! Not only the head with the curving beak but the touch of color that it adds. Your daughter looks like a very accomplished ballerina - I'm sure she'll love it too.

    Mitch, Cheryl,

    Thank you for your comments. They are much appreciated. My daughter danced her last (well, most likely her last) Nutcracker (9th year) as she is off to college next year, so I'll only have a couple more performances with her to shoot. One of my favorites of her...

    Well, I lost the post.....was saying her form is beautiful. The lines anchor it and also show lift. She'll love either one. BTW, what settings did you use for capturing this?

    Very nice Michael. It is reminding me of a painter, maybe Hieronymus Bosch or perhaps something Egyptian! As a side note, we have both been here for a long time because I still thought your daughter was a little girl! She's awesome.
