First of all I'd like to say, that for me this is a really touching shot. Maybe it's because I love all kind of living, maybe it's because I bear so little relation to death itself.
There's some strange kind of beauty connected to the death. Maybe because almost everyone has the wish that there's something better when the physical end arrived. Possible that it is the absolute silence and peace everyone finds in it...
Okay a little summary of the star-points I gave here;
- Vision: I think this is the point, the vision. Perfectly confronting with the dying bird, but not accusing. The posture says; It's me, it hurts, it's okay. Perfectly photographed and set in the right focus. For me: 5 Stars.
- Orginiality: Hm, I gave 3 Stars because it's not the biggest thing to photograph a dying bird, although this is an interesting object. What's more important is the question of 'how?'.
- Technique: Low saturation, dark fronted and a britghter background. The low saturartion is a stylistic device which is often connected to dead. Why should anyone amalgamate something highly colored to what is sad for all of the living? Nothing unexpected.
But I love the occurance of the dark feathers in the foreground which get brighter to the background. Supported by the blur and the opened aperture a dramatic composing comes together.
- Impact: Well, I think everyone relates a very own impact to it and this is what brings us all together in this picture. As a human we can say it is just a bird. As a living indiviual we have to say - it's a bird - it's one of us.
For some it's maybe even shocking that the most free animal in human understanding dies just as all of us. And even more in a poor and lonely way.
