Interesting play of lines combined with a nice mood Akira, most intriguing however is "the man in the cloud" peaking over the edge flicking the peace sign.

No I haven't smoked anything but it is 5 o clock past midnight here in the NL :)

Thanks, Jan.  Yeah, it looks like the peace sign.  I like the characteristic rendition of the old long Nikkors which I believe is part of the atmosphere.

Graphic, strong, almost brutal; I like this because it is a dawn without romanticism. And I'm glad you were not tempted to clone out the bird.

Dave, I'm glad to know that you apparently had the impression which is almost opposit the ones of the others.  It might indicate that I have somewhat succeeded.  To create images that can be interpreted in various ways is my goal.

And, no, I never thought about cloning out the bird.  In fact, I had shot the same image without the bird about a second earlier, but the moment I sensed the bird was going to fly in, I knew that it would complete the image.  The bird gave a nice tension to it.

It's a very good combination Akira. Between the 'softness of the sunset' and the machinery of mankind. I like it.

John, thanks for the comment.  Yes, that was an important part of the image.  Glad you sensed that!
