About Well, maybe not "every"! But it looks as if this big cloud to the right has one, doesn't it! Despite the sun being golden the cloud has a 'silver' edge.

I thought this was quite an appropriate image for what is 'Remembrance Day' here in the U.K.

Best regards to all,

Chris

P.S. A big 'thank you' to Al and the gang for getting the uploads going again!

A very effective posting, Chris. As you say, especially appropriate on Remembrance Day.

(Was the bird something you grafted on? Seems just a bit too much of a coincidence for it to be flying over just at the moment you pressed the button..)


Quix Photography   {K:20204} 11/11/2005
Breathtaking )


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 11/11/2005
And you don't believe in 'coincidences', Len? )

Okay, you spotted it! A bit of craft and graft! Birds just ain't that cooperative!!

(Thats' why it's in the 'photoart' category.)

Thanks for the comment.

Best regards, Chris

Gezzz Chris, this is AWESOME.
Please tell me you added the bird. How could anyone possibly be that lucky to have a bird fly by in fron of this awesome setting? (yeah, I know, you would be just that lucky) LOL

Wonderful photograph for Remembrance Day!
Good job, as usual!
Lori :)

Thanks for your comments, too!

Beautiful, Chris! Did that bird fly by at just the right time, or did you wait for it? Very dramatic shot!
Kathy
Okay...I just read the comments...At least when you can do that kind of work you don't have to wait around! :)

I try not to comment on photoart, but I had to say, "I hope so" in reply to this title. I know you got my forewarded error message, but did you get the comment I wrote about the CDs? I was SO grateful, and hate to think you might not have got my reaction...

Sometimes there are silver linings and sometimes there are gifts and this sunset is one of those gifts of nature and God himself. A truly stunning image and into my favourites it goes. Breathtaking.

Hi Linda,
Many thanks for your kind comment!!

Only if you feel it's really worth it?
Thanks again,
Chris

meravigliosa immagine!!!!!!


Luke Luther   {K:14549} 11/12/2005
Sometimes our minds can create what our eyes are not able to see. You knew the bird would make this even more awesome an image than the backdrop for your grafted in bird. It is still great photography. I like it.
