Not sure if you have space for another comment on this image, but I managed to squeeze myself in at the bottom to say: Mark, this is beautiful. Dramatic, and something spiritually warming about the symbol of the flying dove. The sense of light and movement creates a very dramatic and powerful image, well done mate!

Great work!!!!!!!!

Awesome :)

stunning. freakin stunning.

Fantastic composition, awesome motion capture!

Beautiful … :0)

The picture says it all. Nice capture!

Normally we mean “white” as a symbol of good/hope. You used the flying white pigeon as well as the hope & the spreaded wings really like that’s going to catch all the hopes. Great work !

G’day Mark,

If my memory sereves me right there is a saying my Grandma used to use quite often; “Hope springs eternal.”
And Hope has certaily sprung here my good man.
A powerful and uplifting B&W with the action caught at just the right moment.
Good strong contrast and a matching limited yet strong tonal range.
The composition if perfect.
Great work that man in the hat!
