Look toward heaven

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 15 July 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

Angel sighting at a New Orleans cemetery. Cropped a little, otherwise right out of the camera. Soli Deo Gloria.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AT AM3. I am out and probably away from the computer all this week. We are headed to north Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with our son and his wife and her family. I hope everyone who celebrates this holiday has a wonderful day, filled with turkey and gratitude for every blessing. And those who do not, I hope will remember to count their blessings and be thankful. Packing and getting the SUV all set for the drive today; we leave very early Tuesday morning and plan to return sometime Sunday.

An effective angle of view, emphasising the direction of the angel's gaze. Exposure is spot on, with good highlight detail.

The white matches the clouds. Super nice pal! And the perfect angle for the look! :)

I like the composition. I'm thinking a B&W might be exceptional. Good shot.

{H} creatives from Santa Clara, United States

Awesome composition, bud! That sky is just such a "heavenly" backdrop...interesting that you printed the b/w, I'm curious now how you processed it and what it looks like. Cheers!

p.s. thanks for continuing the inspiration circle!

@{H} creatives: Thanks {H} for being one of my great encouragers. I actually took a series of these cemetery angel shots in color, then did some basic bw processing and printing from my computer. Nothing special.
