Description
Let me take a fly with you
Across the sky, slicing out small clouds
Let me go high where my problems look small
I should close my eyes but I see for the very first time
Let me get some air beneath my human wings
The wind throwing me where my mind never been before
Let me take a fly with you
Just for once take me with you, your bird watcher

This was taken near Cassis, situated on the Mediterranean coast, about 20 km east from Marseille, France.
I was driving around the French Riviera when I was visiting Marseille for an exhibition I did there. I noticed this guy standing on the ledge while driving so I pulled out the car. While getting closer a flock of birds escaped my footsteps and while surprised I was able to capture that, and it gave the frame a beautiful dynamics. I converted the frame to B&W and toned it a bit.

Interesting. One day I wish to travel the world. I've always wanted to go to Iceland though. There's this photographer, but she doesn't have a deviantART account. She just has a website and flickr, but her pictures from Iceland are breathtaking. Makes me want to go there. And her self portraits are beautiful. Here's the link to her website: [link]
Enjoy, and keep up the good work, your photogaphy. inspires me.

Whelp, the last picture I left a comment on was an amazing example of what a little change in perspective can do. This one does that too, but with the added spice of awesome lighting and even some blurring.
Yet another excellant shot.
