Hi all. I was almost ready to post another flight image but in the last second I decided to go for something different, a more creative image. This morning, I have been at home, working on a new painting.
A really big one... the biggest I have done to date (2,44x1,22m). A real endeavour for me but it is very funny to do and very rewarding because I heve been without inspiration for a very long time and it is great when inspiration decides to visit you. After a bunch of hours with paints and brushes I needed a shower but also my small dose of BPN:p
I think that my morning devoted to painting is the reason why I post this image. This couple of small silouettes is a pair of black necked grebes (Podiceps nigricollis) swiming right on the sun set reflection. It is a big crop (4,5Mp) because they were very far from my reach and it is not the sharpest image I have ever done
but I like the strong graphic power: simmetry, simplycity of composition, colors, balance... it looks to me like one of those oriental "Ying-Yang" icons and I like the overall result and I think that I will keep it.
I am very interested to hear your opinion, critics and coments about this image. please, let me know what do you think about it :)
