Angel Boy Earned His Wings

    You are my angel
    Come from way above
    To bring me love...

    Lyrics from the song "Angel" by Massive Attack

    Finally got my wings. Now i've got to learn how to fly with them.

    Selfportrait taken from my "I'm a Bird Now" photoset archive. It was waiting to be posted here for a long time... ;D. As the others from the set, no PS (a filter and nothing else), the clouds were just like that.

      I really like the idea of using the clouds to compose.

      You may find an even more cooperative sky another day (buena suerte), but I like this composition.

      Up the nose shots bother me. Very unflattering. The sky could be more interesting. Grayish shirt against white clouds makes a boring color composition. Looks more messianic than angelic.

      I love the composition and idea behind this image. However, I would prefer more light on your subject to give him more contrast. Somehow this image looks like a stock photo, it needs to be more personal maybe?

      Creative, and nice juxtaposition of the man and the clouds. I like the angle.

      Qué pasada de foto!! Me encanta Toni =D

    26. Rodrigo Adonis (77 months ago | reply)

      Me gusta la claridad y la frescura de esta nueva versión... la versión original supongo. Muy bonita.
      :)

    27. Toni Blay (77 months ago | reply)

      Jejeje, q va Rodrigo, es otra diferente (tomé unas 30 seguidas) pero en esta si te fijas verás que las nubes están sobre los brazos y no alrededor, la postura es algo diferente, además de que por razones que desconozco, la luz del sol no se reflejó en mi tanto como en la anterior...

      I Am A Bird Now

      La verdad es que sigo prefiriendo la primera (la de la miniatura que adjunto en el comment), tiene más fuerza q esta, más fria.

      Saludos!

      beautiful idea, colors and composition.

    29. rt44man (77 months ago | reply)

      excellent and beautiful!

    30. Rodrigo Adonis (77 months ago | reply)

      Sí, tienes razón... la original en ese sentido es mucho más cálida y transmite más emoción. Es una de mis favoritas de tu photostream!
      saludos Toni.

      me encanta la miniatura que adjuntaste al comment ... mucho mejor que la grande ... las nubes son tus alas y el color en la camisa es simplemente asombroso ...
