To catch this bird sitting on these giant girders in front of that sunset is a one in a million shot. Only this work is a digital image. Does that mean it was all constructed? That’s the problem with digital work. Did it really happen like that or is it staged? It’s going to be a question we ask more and more frequently.
What a powerful image…the contrast of one lone living creature on top of a massive human-made construction, and backed by a majestic, colorful natural sky. One reason I think the composition is so strong is because it is built with a series of triangles…the triangular light in the sky echoing the triangles of the girders. Another judge has pointed out that being “digital” makes us question whether the scene was “constructed” or “staged”, but aren’t all works of “art” constructed and/or staged?

This piece really pops. That small bird has so much visually power to this piece. The colors are beautiful. The bridge is beautiful. it all works together very well.

We are meant to feel the weight of this bird that although insignificant, is nonetheless felt by this gothic structure. lovely H
