Alternate/Original Title:Have you ever heard of the boy who flew too close to the sun? When I showed this photo to someone they asked if the "Birds of a feather flock together" was the title and I thought it was a more well known saying so I went with that.
I like this picture because it is taken with all stock equipment the D50 with the kit lens.
Almost all adjustments done from Raw file, making the sky from blue to orange. Used temp and tint changed and bumped exposure and shadows. Used curve layer in Raw and change hues and saturation in the calibration section. In Photoshop resized cropped and ran through NI.
This a sculpture made out of old leftover rot iron dumped in a waterfront/dogpark where many artists make art out of leftover debris.

"Birds of a feather flock together" is an amazing photography into the Cliches and Sayings challenge.
Overall I have to say up front this is an excellent piece of work. The composition is prefect. I love the glow of the sun from between the hair, excellent angle. Technically this is just an amazing piece. Great warm orange coloring to change the tone of the piece.
I read your comments and would agree with your choice. I think some voters would have appreciated the other title, where others would just say huh and give you a lower score for it.
Brilliant colors of the sky, an interesting structure, and the birds look like they are having fun. Great shot! I’m curious what time of day it was and how you got the sky so orange. This is my top rated photo.
Beautiful capture! I didn't notice the artwork physique at first and I liked it a lot then. Now that I've looked longer and closer I see it... his arms are like wings.
I'd like to see the statue/sculpture from a full wider angle just to see what it looks like.
But great capture there, especially with the sun right in the head, so to speak.
