That crow sitting on the ladder gives the perfect touch. I can imagine him giving the man pointers. "Raise your arms a little higher, yes, that's good, now bend your elbows just slightly... more, more...Oh you humans are just no good at this!" It adds a subtle, ironic twist of humor with the solemn faces of the two, and I love it.
The colors and textures are also amazing. The sky is a smooth, soft, almost dreamy blue. In contrast the building is harsh with sharp details and violently burned colors. It creates a very strange and interesting atmosphere.
the bit of feather on the ladder just makes it better.
Ken, thanks for recognizing the feather on the ladder. It took me longer to try and draw that one feather than it took me to do the whole rest of the composite.
Thanks to everyone for the comments and suggestions.
Great to see something unique and creative doing well.Love the dark humour of this.
The winning picture in this challenge sums up Dpchallenge perfectly.
Art doesnt do well here.
Yowza, what a setup! It's a whole novel worth of story in this shot. I almost buy the bird, but he has a little bit of a halo. Everything else is looking pretty durn tight. Excellent lighting and coloration. I hope you will be well-rewarded for your efforts, Icarus. Wishing you friendly skies.
Please tell me you were only a couple feet off the ground or that you were wearing a safety harness of some sort. I get queasy just looking at the image :-) (I love the color tones and composition)
Now there's something you don't see everyday! : ) Great imagination and awesome tones in this shot. Best of luck in flight school! Back to bump you up to 9.
