An Unexpected New Nest

by Marc Ward

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted January 25, 20101,226 views9 comments
The sun, moon, reflections, and shadow were created in Photoshop. The water is from Tennessee and the sky and birds are from different locations in Florida. The "nest" is a beach-side sculpture from the Spanish Mediterranean. Please view larger also. Your comments and critiques are always helpful and welcome.

the clouds draw the eye into the center of the image, the concentric circles arising from the sun adds an extra element, the floating nests are strange :) but very well done

Hi Marc,
Another fine image conceptually and technically. I really enjoy your images and always look forward to your next. This one works for me as is, but my eye struggles with the moon placement. Perhaps a bit lower would work as well.
Keep 'em coming!

Very interesting image. I like how the line of clouds in the sky lead to the floating nests. Congrats on the EP!
