Seize the Day!
Posted by Jerry (Tampa, United States) on 5 March 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Seize the Day!
gather ye rosebuds where ye may....
LOOK at things differently today!
Lay on your stomach to take a shot!
Stand on your car!
Tilt you head!
Get on a ladder and shoot down!
Have fun!

Your cheerfulness boosts the spirit! Great idea, and fun angle - I felt like I was on a playground slide (on the ocean!?) as I looked at your photo!

Usually I am not a fan of these shots...but you sir have pulled it off. I think the bird pulls everything together.

@visual: I thank you kindly and I hope you seize this day! Cheers!
dYe from Cambridge, United States
An inspiring shot and message! I love all the lines from the ocean and the clouds. I think it was clever of you to shoot the angle so that the bird lies along the horizontal and vertical axes, and nothing else does.

@dYe: I certainly appreciate your kind words dYe!

Behrooz from Tehran, Iran
Again a very beautiful postcard. I think the bird is all that makes this shot different from all those sunset shots out there. And difference is the keyword here.
Seize the Day!
