beautiful composite work Mark. love the balance of four birds to four sides of tower and the asymmetry of three windows on each side. very impressive and clean. superbly done.

this is outstanding!

(you note, none of the images are borrowed from other sources, I take it!)

Thanks, all )

Sunset – none of the shots in my folio use any work from any other artist or photographer other then myself. The exception is ‘Awakening’, which is a collaboration, being a shot by myself, and added character and features by Cliff.

The eagles depicted here are from shots I took in Lorne maybe 6 months ago, and the tower is a shot from maybe 2 months ago in Williamstown. Going through them one day, I thought they would combine nicely :)

If anyone is interested in seeing the originals, please feel free to mail me :)

Fantastic work, well done.

Beautiful work, lovely framing and composition!

awesome!

Very creative and dramatic and I like the rich colors.

Stunning Image.

Mark, I can`t begin to tell you how many ways this shot works for me. Suffice to say I think it rocks, and when see the rest of your portfolio, it doesn`t surprise me. Congrats on getting the deserved feature!

Fantastic work,Mark!!!

Very nice composite image. The eagles look great. They give a fantastic effect !

Well done

mark this is really amazing – the feeling in it – you can feel the blue in that sky – not in the blues kind of way…in the sense of the vibrancy…and the birds swooping around – make you almost feel the air move around them – this image is really ALIVE!

I could comment on how many comments you receive. (Me be envious!) But they are all well deserved due to the consistent high quality of your work. And, of course, this dramatic piece is no exception. Great!

very well done Mark. Love how this has come up. bravo!

There has got to be a Princess held captive in THAT tower!

When i look at this, i picture a lone lost soul standing at the top, hair and gown flowing in the wind, looking down sorrowfully, yearning to fly with those birds….

“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair”..LOL.. Wow this is dramtic and beautiful work!!
