Angel

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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..

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 :)

This is an awesom B & W. The wind does draw the eye into the photo.
Hope your little one is doing better.

great composition, beautiful view

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments – i really appreciate them and thank you too for your well wishes.

Absolute beaut mate, perfect angle and your always special touch, totally splendid work my friend.

Fantastic capture of the Angel

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!

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

super shot Debs… looks like the wing goes on forever….! Awesome B&W shot…!

G’day Deborah,

How wonderfully refreshing it is to see that someone has actually DONE something with this great subject.
I take my virtual hat off to you for being so creative with this photograph and producing something SO diffferent.
Great work!

WOW! I love the way you have done this! The lighting is perfection!

you have done a great job with this much photographed lanmark, top marks.

Truly stunning!

Hi Deborah! I really like what you have done here! The people balance this scene out so beautifully! Hope your little girl gets well soon :-))

As you know Deborah i live only a few miles from the Angel ,i have never been to see it (shame on me)....However i have seen many many images of it ,and this is not only the most unusual but the best yet.Brilliant work

fantastic work Deb-love the silhouette great job.

WOW>...what an amazing and powerful image….I just love the dark tones and your POV here is perfect,....also love the fact that you were able to capture the people walking on each end of the shot….Perfect perspective ….This is really a brilliantr piece

this is a very, very asthetic picture… i love it! well done! I know that there will be a healing for your little one..because I aksed and prayed..keep the faith my friend.

Firstly and far more importantly, my very best wishes to you little girl, hope she gets well very soon.

Love the angle, sky is fab, and B&W is just divine

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!

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.

Gormley would love this treatment…astounding..

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…

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

fantastic

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.

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

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

Beautiful work- Hope Fleur’s feeling better

Gorgeous shot that sky is amazing. Wonderful work

great mono work. super lines against that dramatic sky. love the people on either side. well done.

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

this is great Deborah, you have captured it really well.. nice work

Perfect… one of the best I’ve seen on this Angel! Gorgeous!

Nice angle

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.

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

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.

Super dramatic image deb ….. love those clouds !

stunning, forceful and intimidating :-)

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.

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.

Love this, Deb, the human element makes it all so much better!

beautiful composition.

Truly amazing Deb (as always). Love the sky and position of all figures.. awesome work.
PS – hope you little one is all ok..

Fantastic shot Deb, love the play on perspectives.

Supperb effects ,love the angle ,beautiful.

KeeeeeeRACK!!!

That was my head… smacking the ground… as you totally floor me once again.

I am in awe… may I worship at your feet?

Great work Deborah – yes, I saw this whilst driving down the A1…. amazing piece of sculpture captured in your unique style… Wonderful!

Excellent capture Deb.

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.

Great photo, very powerful

Great light and colors, a superb compotion, cool. :)Gorm

wow… this is stunning! super composition and lighting

Brilliantly composed shot.
This is quite a unique look at this sculpure which only you could capture.

am lost for words…Dito to all that above! superb image Debby!

Looks like she just got a call from heaven! Great drama and scale…love those 2 people heading in from either side, really adds to the strength of the image. Wonderful!

Excellent image Deborah – Mono is top notch as always ad the silhouette is perfect – Brilliant mood and layout.

Wonderfully done Deb, I can’t really say much that is not been said already. Blimey was my first thought followed by how unique. Lovely work!!

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

Superb!

The atmosphere is just amazing here Deb!!

You succumbed to the Angel debs….... I myself haven’t as yet. But I’ve never seen a shot done like this. Stylish yet dark. Great job

Hi Deb,

I hope your llittle ones are ok now!

I have to tell you that you are one of the best B&W photoraphers I have ever seen! Including published work! You just have this style and knack of taking the perfect picture which evokes so many different emotions, depending on your subject!! I love this image. Great work!

You are welcome Dedorah.

Such an awesome image. You are such a master at B&W. I love the lighting in this and the fact that you left people in to give this perspective.

Never saw so much emotion in B&W images until I ran across Your work, Good Job!

Wonderful portrait shot!

I’ll be in that area in a month’s time for my son’s gymnastic competition. I’m hoping that we can take some time out for me to photograph the Angel, I only hope I can do it the same justic you have.

I hope you get a chance too Jo – it is beautiful – don’t think you will be disappointed – thanks for the comment too – in fact thank you for all the wonderful comments :)

Wow, very cool and interesting picture!

Stunning

Powerful image, in all dimentions…..... genius :)

Fabulous

Awesome!

great shot mq

Another great shot!! Excellent…

Great Image!

Like most of us who drive by The Angel I’m always impressed and I think your photo is the best I’ve seen of this fantastic piece of art. well done, mike

Just brilliant :-) x

magical…

Very dramatic image! I thought it was a person at first (I’m from the US…). It reminds me of the Wright Brothers monument at Kitty Hawk in North Carolina, up on a sand dune along the ocean, in the wind, with a latticed wing. The two dark figures are curious too- one walking into the image, and the other walking out. Great sky!

Beautiful! I love the angle, the clouds and the black and white is brilliant. I remember seeing this on a daytrip while my husband was stationed in Yarm (we are from Canada). But we did not stop and take a proper picture. I dearly loved our visit and wish that we had taken the time. Great job…thanks for posting!

Cool

Just noticed this one Deborah. The image certainly has some impact but it’s the little things I notice like the person in the corner.
I owe my knowledge of this structure to Billy Connolly. He did a TV program a few years ago, riding his trike around the British Isles.
Great image Deborah, and congratulations on the sale.

Wow! Awesome image! Perfect perspective!
