Below the Stars

Flying so fast just below the stars,
even standing still the wind couldn’t keep up.

A songbird lying fast just below the stars

    Great shot. Love the movement on the wings, the colours and the sharp focus. The background bokeh is beautiful, too.

    I love this image!. The blue and green bokeh is just so beautiful together. The sharpness is amazing, the blur in the wings is just perfect.

    Now this is the little rascal that is stealing the bluebird’s nest! But here’s also its plain beauty in color & light. ;)

    “Even standing still the wind couldn’t keep up.” Now _there’s a statement that could keep some philosophers busy for years… ;-) Fantastic words and image, Rick…
