Strange & strong, reflections & B&W fascinating oppositions, this photo has to be looked a longer time, and then so many things spread out of it like new born birds, I like this **

The element of freedom and liberation combined with the decay and rusting of the old metal sheeting gives an interesting dialogue. Great mono PP too.

How something mundane as a dove can create such an inspiring moment, when captured right.
Very 'simple' ingredients, but together all the elements here works perfectly.
Awesome.

This is such a perfect capture of the moment in time. And thanks for the words from Damien - must confess I haven't seen or heard him before, but found the song on Youtube and enjoyed it. Saw also a link to him singing Halleluyah, which is one of my favourite tunes and it is downloading as I write. Have a wonderful weekend.

@dobbino: Thanks Rob :) I really enjoy his music and I do believe I had this song playing on my iPod when I shot this. Enjoy, and a wonderful weekend to you as well.

You captured a very nice moment. Poetic scene was cropped from the real world.

At first I thought the horizonal line was the water edge of the reflection, and he was jumping in to take a bath or something while the other one is watching.... :-)
I love Damien Rice, watch his BBC live DVD every now and then, I better pay attention to his lyrics next time...

At the very begining, I tried to imagine what it looked like but finally I gave it up as I put the emphasis on its metaphor. It might be no choice, might be wishes, might be struggle, might be of what everyboday prefers to...
Anyway, the display is alluring not metnion its worth in meditation! Bravo!

This is wonderful, Sharon! All your dove images are very poetic. And this one is a WOW. There is a relationship, love, a break up, life and death... This image encourages thoughts about all of life... One of my favorites of yours!

What strikes me the most are the vertical lines and reflections. Love the mood you created in this image and the flying bird adds to the startled anticipation here. Great compo.

Always admiring how you manage to illustrate a feeling from a song with your photos, or the contrary... Sensitive connection... and a brilliant one ! (Thanks for this Damien Rice's song i didn't know, such a good music :)

Not only it is a good action of the bird in flight, the weathering and discoloration of the background is amazing too! Great capture.
