A drastically edited version of this; one. Played with the coloring to remove the yellowish cast of the lights and sharpened it do bring out the edges. This is much truer representation of how this dramatic figure (the Calatrava Addition of the Milwaukee Art Musuem, if you haven't seen any other numerous posts of my obession before) strikes the eye at night. Tom Petty happened to be on while I was editing this one, and seemed to fit. "Learning to fly...but I ain't got wings..." It's certainly how I feel at times, both with photography and in other areas of my life. Thanx to all of you for ever so patiently providing with me tips...and thanx to one special individual for helping me to find my Wings in other ways. Honest comment and critique please.

I think this is fabulous Rich.... it really looks like it's right on the verge of lifting it's wings & soaring into the unknown. Personally I really like the flat velvet background because there's absolutely no disctraction from your main focus...that amazing blue tipped bird.

Absolutely stunning composition. Architecture is, without exception, my favorite form of art.

Come, my friends,
'tis not too late to seek a new world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite the sounding furrows; for my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset, and the baths of all western stars, until I die.
Tennyson, "Ulysses"
I think this must be a symbolic image for you... This one is so much clearer than the others and I like the color of the great bird about to take flight... I'd love to see it in person.

"Never let your studies interfere with your education." - Pete Seeger
Rich, I'd say your efforts in reworking the original paid off. This is absolutely stunning. The lighting on this one instantly caught my eye as well as the detail. The more I see this magnificent 'bird' structure ... well, the more I want to see it in person. Outstanding work Rich.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give ~ Winston Churchill
When I looked at this for some reason I thought of Titanic, when they were standing on the front of the ship getting the feel of flying.. lol... good capture of light and composition, the black background really makes it stand out.. great work Rich
(its nice to have an angel around to help you with your wings)

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
So do I. Sufficiently abstract and detailed. Nice shot.

To see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wildflower, to hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. - William Blake
Well, it seems you found what you were looking for. I've enjoyed the others of Calatrava, but this one seems special. Lighting and detail really pop against that background. I would like to see it in person.

I've liked this version far much more than your first. This truly grabs your attention and lets you fly with. Great Job. Best Regards,
