Beautiful Deborah! I hope your little one is better now…

Daniel Rayfield, 5 months ago

This is Brilliant!!!! Hope you enjoyed getting out and even more so I hope your young one recovers soon!

Carl Chick, 5 months ago

Every time I see this thing, I’m intrigued. Here you have presented a great perspective with the wing acting as the leading line for my eyes. Your signature style shines through on this.

Dave Warren, 5 months ago

wonderfull image, i always wanted to photograph the Angel, never had the chance yet”,
Very well done

Helene Kippert, 5 months ago

Love the angle and dramatic lighting deb – hope your little one is better soon

And it gets the full Parkin treatment. One minute landscapes, the next iconic landmarks (we’ll soon have you doing waterfalls and sunrises Deb – I can see you’re headed in that direction!)

I just love the two figures walking around which really show the scale and size of the statue. I have never seen it with my own eyes, and have had to rely on photos and just love how you have represented it. Those clouds are just seriously impressive and really add to the Parkin blacks and whites with some glory.

The textures on the wings have also come out incredibly well and it’s a very interesting angle which is not one that i’ve seen before.

Deborah Parkin in reply to Dave Warren’s comment, 5 months ago

I think you would do a wonderful job Dave, so i hope you get to do it one day – i had a very limited time and a 6 year that kept disappearing to take his own pictures LOL!!! So only got a few i liked, but would like to go back there. Thanks for your comment too :)

Paul Tupman, 5 months ago

Wow! Deb.. this is fantastic! I’ve driven past this a couple times but never had the opportunity to stop and take a good look… I love this sculpture and all the work of the artist.. I love what you have done here with the processing and the framing of this is spot on. Love the perspective. Definately an iconic image for an iconic sculpture! Now tell me, is it just me, or is thatan eye in the clouds looking down on the child? Brilliant!

velveteagle, 5 months ago

I have never seen this .. But you have a wondeful view on this.. Its hard to convey this type of power in words.. But you have done it well in capture..

funkyfacestudio, 5 months ago

This is a beautiful silhouette, I love the perspective and I think the tiny people really showcase that. It’s such an interesting angel sculpture, Love it !
I hope your little girl is well very soon :)

Joanne Bradley, 5 months ago

david malcolmson, 5 months ago

I hope your little girl is in good health again….......A very impressive and dramatic image of the famous landmark.I like the human figures which reinforce the sheer size of the statue. What a sky!

gothgirl, 5 months ago

sorry to hear about your little one. Glad you got out cos this is certainly worth it. It is so dramatic and with the extra figure on the right – really special. I hope to get there one day but this had encouraged me to get there soon – thanks

Andy Harris, 5 months ago

Great shot Debs…...love it! This is a beautiful landmark….funny…I wasjust thinking the other day what it would be like to photograph it….now I know!

Mister, 5 months ago

I imagine it is. Great image. Stupid question but where about is it? I mean, I know you mentioned the A1, but where’s that. My geography and knowledge of roads is on the suckage level.

Jo Fedora, 5 months ago

Gormley would love this treatment…astounding..

Deborah Parkin in reply to Mister’s comment, 4 months ago

You are just brilliant Deb. This is a superb. Perfect as always. I hope your little one is feeling much better soon. Happy, healing thoughts to her…

Madison Ellis, 4 months ago

Wonderful image…I hope Fluer gets better soon!!!

Sean Farragher, 4 months ago

fantastic

Graham Dean, 4 months ago

Brilliantly composed Deb, for me it has a surreal air the way the left wing brings us into the pic, and the right stops dead amongst those ominous clouds.Sorry to hear Fluer’s not well, I hope she feels better soon.

Roy barry, 4 months ago

What a stunning composition and treatment of an icon, great work.

pinkyjain, 4 months ago

This is so fantastic, awesome, so beautiful. Hope your little one is better

Michael Oubridge, 4 months ago

This must rate amongst one of the most powerful images of the Angel i have seen Deb, love the sky, love the b&w, love everything.
I hope your little one gets better soon, i would hate for you to miss the meet

Jeremy Harrington, 4 months ago

StacyLee, 4 months ago

DawsonImages, 4 months ago

Nice angle

Naomi Frost, 4 months ago

WOWzers…this is fabulous Deb. Love the sky, the framing and the inclusion of the people to add perspective. You’re treatment, as usual is perfect. I hope Fleur is feling better.

alistair mcbride, 4 months ago

Brilliant shot,like how you have included the pepole to give a sense of scale.

Martin Derksema, 4 months ago

This really is a very uplifting image. What a sky bound power. My old pilot’s heart starts beating faster if I look at this, as you possibly can imagine. Because this is how Flyboys want it. To be óne with the wings and to be able to fly on you own power. Love the enormous wing span bursting out of the image. And the sky … oh boy … the sky … I think the clouds might burst open any moment and then a voice will speak and say Planet Earth is saved. Gee, this is a picture of mythical proportions. Lóve the little figure sneaking out of the picture. A picture that made my day.

richiedean, 4 months ago

Super dramatic image deb ….. love those clouds !

Arnold Isbister, 4 months ago

stunning, forceful and intimidating :-)

Denzil, 4 months ago

This is by far the best image I have seen of this figure. Interestingly a very ordinary shot appeared in a recent advertising section in one of our Australian newspapers, a promo for that area of England, often overlooked by tourists apparently. I thought how striking it must look in reality, and your photo has brought it to me, through the magic of RedBubble!
This is a powerful brooding image, both uplifting and striking.

Angela Stewart, 4 months ago

I’m sorry to hear Fleur has been unwell Deb, and hope she’s back to her normal healthy self really soon!
I love this image…you’ve achieved your usual high standard of treatment and composition.

Mel Brackstone, 4 months ago

Richard Veal, 4 months ago

Peter Zentjens, 4 months ago

I’ve seen several images of this sculpture already but I really like what you did with it. The crop is excellent and the 2 silhouetted people put everything in perspective. The impressive sky adds to the overall drama.

Claire Armistead, 4 months ago

wow! I didn’t know you were from England Deborah : ) This is gorgeous! This is one of those iconic images which people try to “show in a different light”...you’ve done it sooooo well. I love the texture to the sky, the mono tones and of course the scale of the child against the Angel. Stunning image x
