Did you rename this photo based on the poem it reminded me of? By the way, I left out the word "singing" when I quoted it from memory the first time.

Love without hope
As when the young bird catcher
Swept off his tall hat
To the squire's own daughter
So let the imprisoned larks escape
And fly singing about her head
As she rode by.

Robert Graves

I look at this and want to throw my gear in the rubbish heap. But I realize it isn't the gear. It is the person behind it. Please tell me you've been doing this for many years and I just need to work hard a while longer... But no, I think this is God given talent and I should just be in awe and be inspired to keep trying. Thank you for that.

Angela Bacon-Kidwell Oh please! The work you see here has been created over the last 1 1/2 years. I started to take photography seriously about a year ago. Before, that I was a painter. Thank you- Just keep doing what your doing and follow through with your ideas. Best!

angela this is special very well conceived & produced. i woke the other morning early & shared the morning with thousands of swallows but couldn't get any decent shots simply because of the speed they moved at. this is a delightful scene that will resonate for a long time.

Angela Bacon-Kidwell Thank you! I was on the inside of the car and they did not mind us at all. Hundreds of them. Thank you so much.

Hmmm...I just responded to what I considered to be a rude remark by karmazyniello and when I clicked to post my comment, his disappeared. Magic!

Angela Bacon-Kidwell Well, I got the remark- He said "trick photo it is stupid sorry that is my opinion"
I'm laughing my booty off.
