Gosh I don't even know where to begin. Well let's start with the subject itself: the bird.
I've always liked bird shots cause birds are the symbol of freedom. The glide of a bird is the ultimate "freedom symbol" and that's the thing that really caught my eye at first. The pose of that bird is just about perfect!
That gliding makes me feel so peaceful and hopeful and I just wish that I could fly under that massive sky
Ground looks more than great too! Contrast is top notch and the gray tones are smooth as hell and the overall look is just stunning when you're viewing this photo.
That place looks really beautiful and Vaggelis captured it perfectly! This thing that I've always loved about his photos is that he doesn't need any "rules" to capture a gorgeous photo. No need for rule of thirds or anything like that. When he captures the photo, he uses his heart as a tool and he always amazes me with his skills.
So all in all, I really love this photo as it's technically a masterpiece and it makes me feel so peaceful and relaxed
I only write critiques to share how I think an image can be improved... but this is nearly perfection.
The horizon line spits this shot into two pieces. The top slants down to the left and the bottom slants up to the left... It makes the viewer unintentionally tilt his/her head from left to right. So this shot actually, physically, affects it's viewers... a hard feat to accomplish.
the contrast is wonderful, and the subject swooping in is very dramatic.
My background is in traditional art, so I would say there are two things that could have made this shot even better.
1- Had the shot been taken a little more to your left and lowered, putting the subject right into that sweet spot.(rule of thirds)
2-the subject being a little closer.
But, as photography goes, you rarely have that kind of control, especially with nature.
National Geographic worthy photo my friend. Truly splendid.
