Minimal Refuge

May 11, 2019

Birds shelter during a heavy snowstorm on the roof peak of a barn. For them, such minimal refuge appears to suffice.

Another great one from you, Alan! The graphic nature, the just-so composition, the chill - beautiful and mesmerising. You go from strength to strength.

I've just re-rated this at 5 stars, Alan. It's oustanding. You have great variety in your portfolio. This image is uplifting, beautiful, and flawless to my eye. A print on the wall would have enduring appeal.

Thanks Chis, I really appreciate your feedback. It means a lot to me that you have revisited the images after more than a year and still enjoy it.
My goal is to create artwork that viewers feel compelled to revisit so your comments are so meaningful to me.

You just made my day........

Alan, very interesting high key image the geometry of the two lines converging upon the dark triangle spectated with falling snow birds hunkered down till the passing of the storm. Very cool visual interpretation of a snow storm, would like to see it in print or at least full screen version with no other internet intrusions.
