The graceful flight of big birds is a fascinating thing to watch and even better if you catch a picture as they take flight. The conditions were difficult and I fired away not knowing if I would capture him at all. I got the most of him with a sparkling bokeh of water background. I added texture and sepia which I toned down some to fade closer to black and white. Posterize and canvas was added as well. It was all a matter of taste...to each his own. Looking more for a manipulation than actual photograph without loss of details. Let us loose the bounds of earth and take flight like a bird. Feel the air under our wings and the sun on our face. Pain and sorrow flee away and joyful surrender cradles me for all time. I'll fly away some day but for now I patiently wait for the morrow.

My first glance opinion confirms that your desired effect has been attained. Manipulation, gentle and soft touch of it, without any loss of the details which are shown with utmost clarity.
Similar are my feelings this very early morning too - freedom under my wings and air beneath my feet.
One problem though - my weight should be trimmed down a little to join the bird right now :)
Same with Boris...

A good B/W image and you got the full spread of the wings too. Nice entry for the Challenge Frank. When you fly away don't forget to take the hot air balloon with you :)

Very good entry for the challenge Frank, and a very good narrative too.

I like to give you however an advice: before you try to fly away, please do some attempts after taking some proper safety measures, lol.

Enjoy your flight my friend.

Regards, Cornelius.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.
