 I wish I could remember to whose image this is similar. It wasn't a conscious homage while shooting, but as soon as I saw it on the computer, I knew it was going to be.

I know there's xion's wonderful image that this is very close, but I think there's another one as well. Anyone remember which it is?

Two degrees of homage...

jdannels How could I have forgotten Joe's wonderful image?

I'm going to leave this at 7 because I think it's a copy of something else, but wow, what a copy. Really beautiful.

Excellent. The tones, the simplicity, the wayward traveller. Awesome.

Nice bird! The pole is distracting a bit from the bird - maybe crop it off?

:P Just kidding - nice capture with great lines and an excellent conversion to B/W - very moody.

Interesting perspective and image. The title spins this into a whole 'nother dimension of thought and perception - 9

Even though this reminds me of an image from a while ago, this is simply gorgeous. Strong geometry, marvelous tonal gradients, minimalist content, and the bird soaring about it all.
