Hey Brendon, Great photo and like the other comments, I expected it to be from the desert? Anyway, the combined outline of the clouds and the bird make it most interesting. Nice work!
Also, I VERY much appreciate your comments - Thank You! And as far as the dust, I'm still dealing with it. I've run the sensor cleaner built into the camera several times and that has helped, but not solved anything completely. So, I'm in the decision mode of do I clean it myself or send it to Canon? I have a back-up to my 1D (a 10D), but I haven't had near the luck at using my 10D to get the quality of photos I'm looking for and dealing without it for 2-4 weeks seems outrageous to me? ARGH!!! That's about all I can say at the moment...
Wow, that is a very nice image you have there. It is out of place from the rest of your portfolio, but a very nice bit of added variety! It might just be me, but I think that photo would look fantastic as a poster!
When I see your name come up, I automatically think of pix from Desert Storm. When I saw this shot, it was hard to think of you taking it. it does not seem like your style. Hey I'm not knocking it, I was just suprised. When I first saw the shot, I thought this was something to be used in an "Inspirational Advertisment" with the heavens, clouds, and the sun coming through. Anyway, nice shot. (8)
