Description And you too can catch a leviahtan with a hook (quote taken from the bible I don't know which book it's from )

the photo was pretty wasted out so I played with the levels and curves until the kite was just a silhouette



This photo is pretty old, I was looking for more photos to submit (finally) and I came across this one

Comments are great and so easy to type up. So please comment.

Thats a beaut

The darkness of the picture is very important I feel, makes it seem...moody and oceanic. Nice job.

I'm guessing the beastie is a kite of some kind? The string looks like it is tied to the land :S is it? Anyway, great photo.

The kite looks like it is a some sort of jelly fish, or something else that would live it the see.

A sad, calming and strange athmosphere, very well captured! The colors are harmonious, and the silhouette adds the unusual taste to this photograph. The white border is probably a bit aggressive, maybe it should be thinner?

I looked at the white line around the photo and yeah I'll have to tone it down thanks for telling this.

I love how it looks like an octopus/squid in the sky. Gives it a surreal aspect that is very nice.

Oh man I want a kite/blimp like that.

Great silhouette. Loving the (lack) of colors. Very dismal, but the subject matter when you look closer looks like it should be something a bit happier. Nice work.

I too like playing with wasted photos until they turn into something special...but none of my attempts have resulted in something so intriguing and brooding and fantastical as this. Cool done!

absolutely gorgeous shot, I would never have know that the silhouette was actually a kite! Its looks like something simply out of this world. Lovely sky, and I love the blue hue you caught near the horizon. Great work!`

You know, for some reason I really like this photo, and I can't really put into words why. Maybe it sort of gives a feeling of being alone as the sky continues on forever and ever over the ocean (or really big lake). Maybe it's the progression from dark at the bottom to light at the top. Whatever it is, I love the composition and the tones. I love the hint of blue right in the middle, and the uneven horizon. The border and cropping seem perfect. Usually I try to recommend something to help, but this one is extremely well done already. Great work!
