Later in the day the nightingale
begins his love song

;-) Not really a nightingale, could not find one to photograph so the blackbird had to do...

Comments by Michael Meek on Fri, 02/12/16 11:48 Spare and good with the sweet singer singing praise for it's remarkable and colorful view. Comments by Maria Salvador on Fri, 02/12/16 12:35 :-) Thanks Michael! Comments by Ruth Rittichier on Fri, 02/12/16 14:29 Simple and sweet, with a message across the space. Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Fri, 02/12/16 14:35 There is a visual contact created between the blackbird and the bird in flight which is enhanced by the near silhouetted feel of the various elements of the image and the rose color of the sky. And why is that important? Well for me there is the feeling as if the blackbird is singing to the other bird which adds a sense of sadness to me for the departing bird. Comments by Jacky on Fri, 02/12/16 17:48 A wonderful scene wonderfully seen. Indeed, a very nice, almost minimalist, composition. Love the graduated rose hue of the sky. Comments by Garry Schaefer on Sat, 02/13/16 23:12 A sweet song it is, augmenting the strong graphics of the non-living elements. Comments by Maria Salvador on Sun, 02/14/16 05:37 Ruth, Jan, Johnny and Garry, many thanks to you all, have a happy Sunday and Valentine's day! Comments by John Long on Tue, 02/16/16 15:13 Great silhouette Maria. Comments by Scott J. on Fri, 02/19/16 09:24 Perfect silhouette of the black bird against a complementary sky that's just the right color and perfectly plain with just another bird coming in. The building has just enough detail and the diagonal is great Comments by Maria Salvador on Mon, 02/22/16 10:18 John and Scott, big thank you to both. That bird is one of a blackbirds family that nests in an air conditioned box outside one of my neighbours balcony. It perching on the other building roof was my lucky day to get a cleaner photo! Comments by G.B. SHETTLER on Mon, 02/22/16 12:00 I like the simplicity, the comp, the tone and the room you have given the viewer to search out various meanings as time goes by !! Comments by Maria Salvador on Mon, 02/22/16 12:02 :-) Many thanks Greg!
