The Circle of Life

This appeals to me. Great shot

wow great picture

It’s beautiful. The salmon and the stone look like they’re suspended in space.

Fascinating image…. your description explains it well!

Sad,yes but this is life and nature,like the cloud reflection in this image.

I love it… it’s the circle of life at it’s finest… and I love that eagles can eat upon it.

in the midst of such beauty, death…yet in death, rebirth, nourishment and regeneration…..

wow, amazing shot. love the reflections. cool that the salmon was so close to you.

At first I thought it was a well placed pebble! interesting juxtaposition of death and a heavenly light.

I like the concept!!! Great use of color! Great statement!

fantastic image!

Nice. Looks like a shark chased by a whale

Interesting shot Dawson.

Great composition, well done

If it didn’t happen, the world would be a much different place for sure.

Nice reflection on the water

I think Wendy Slee said it best. Gorgeous reflection on the water too… Gives the whole image an almost painted quality

Wow – what a cool shot. It looks like a plane in the sky, being chased by a space meteor. Great nature shot though – love it

This is a remarkable shot … I thought that you had created it at first .. wonderful capture and , yes, exactly .. The Circle of Life….

this is an image i had to look at a couple of times, without reading the text.
Fantastic image!!

It shows that this photo has alot of thought put into it, I think you did very well in making this into an appealing subject. Good work!

wow a real floaty feeling – a beautiful picture about a sad subject

Love shots that fool the eye, great photograph.

The fishtail shape of the rock mimics the salmon’s tail, and both seem to be pointing upwards and outwards into infinity where regeneration is ongoing and life continues. This image goes way beyond photography into challenging realms of thought and philosophy and spirituality. You’re a miracle worker with that camera, Mike!

Interesting image and story

The reflection of light & sky in the water is amazing – really great shot!

This appeals to me, fantastic shot!

fanatstic reflection and clarity

ABSOLUTELY MAGIC….

Passing into the sunset of its life.. great image ..

great shot. love the reflections.

it actually looks like something in flight, and is an interesting composition with beautiful colors.

Great shot, very beautiful image of a life lived. It will live on through its offspring!

This is a gorgeous image on its own, and the coho completing its cycle makes it even more interesting. Well done!
