instead of praising technically excellent details and features (which do exist),
i just want to say that this touches me in a way that i cannot describe
and that this picture leaves me behind with some strange feeling of fresh warmth.

there was a dead bird on my doorstep one morning
wet and separated by the rain
its reflection had more life
much like this, so beautifully dead.

must say i love your 'new' camera :D

there have been people whos devs of dead birds got deleted caus they were against some sort of dA policy.

anyway, netherlands is a flat country, as can be seen inhere. maybe i would have preferred bw but thats no point for discussion, personal tase.

pfiou..
it looks so untouchable somehow,
so pure, in a way, as well as crude

"NINA (reciting Triplev's abstract play)
All men and beasts, lions, eagles, and quails, horned stags, geese, spiders, silent fish that inhabit the waves, starfish from the sea, and creatures invisible to the eye --in one word, life-- all, all life, completing the dreary round imposed upon it, has died out at last. A thousand years have passed since the earth last bore a living creature on her breast, and the unhappy moon now lights her lamp in vain. No longer are the cries of storks heard in the meadows, or the drone of beetles in the groves of limes. All is cold, cold. All is void, void, void. All is terrible, terrible-- [A pause]"
[Anton Chekov: The Seagull]

"TRIGORIN
This is a beautiful place to live. [He catches sight of the dead sea-gull] What is that?

NINA
A gull. Constantine shot it.

TRIGORIN
What a lovely bird! Really, I can't bear to go away. Can't you persuade Irina to stay? [He writes something in his note-book.]

NINA
What are you writing?

TRIGORIN
Nothing much, only an idea that occurred to me. [He puts the book back in his pocket] An idea for a short story. A young girl grows up on the shores of a lake, as you have. She loves the lake as the gulls do, and is as happy and free as they. But a man sees her who chances to come that way, and he destroys her out of idleness, as this gull here has been destroyed. [A pause. ARKADINA appears at one of the windows.]"

danke, und danke.
ich freue mich doch irgendwie, dass du der erste bist, der
etwas dazu kommentiert. dass du bei dem bild an wärme
denkst kann ich nachvollziehen, aber nicht beschreiben,
es ist als wollte ich einen vergessenen traum erinnern.
~Navros:iconNavros: Dec 15, 2005, 9:19:53 AM
it's reflection had more life;
how beautiful a way to put this,
yes, beautifully dead.

thank you, says the camera.
~Navros:iconNavros: Dec 15, 2005, 9:21:29 AM
they had them deleted?
i only hope this picture won't get deleted because i do like it a lot.
you know, if it was emphasizing the fact that it's a dead animal, or
some sort of fetish or joke, then i can understand it being deleted,
but i refer to this bird i found on the beach in a pure and artistic
way;
~Navros:iconNavros: Dec 15, 2005, 9:22:10 AM
oh yes, it has the definate aura
of untouchability... maybe because
it's dead or maybe because it would
belong into the air and is now lying
on it's back.
