A Different Viewpoint

Beautiful image with a well conceived viewpoint. I like the Symmetry and the pose of the subjects. The blue sky adds to the clarity with the striped pants acting like leading lines and emphasising the length of the stilts. Well done on selecting a viewpoint that takes the image to another level and congratulations on being in my top ten selection.

The subject lies in a green oasis surrounded by drying decay. The dry section of pond bed is in the shape of a tree complete with trunk. This also adds to the oasis illusion. The red and green are complementary and with a drone you cannot fail to get a different perspective. That does not necessarily make it easy and this shot looks like a well planned coordination. Well done and congratulations on being in my top ten selection.

A great example of capturing the decisive moment, all enclosed in a spiral. The subject, with one foot on the bottom stair portrays movement in a static scene. He appears to be carrying something over his shoulder (a dog?) One third of the image is in relative darkness, our eyes start with the highlighted figure and then retrace the steps to the top the stairwell. It appears that conditions were not perfect for this capture in a dark stairwell and hence the high ISO of 5000. Great shot and congratulations on being my number one selection.

A truly remarkable capture and viewpoint. All the elements, colour. composition and subject come together in harmony to form the perfect whole. The diagonal tree trunk brings a dynamic influence that captures and helps to hold steady the chaotic confusion of thousands of birds. Beautiful complementary colours complement the scene. A very well deserved top ten selection.
