The suspense is killing me. What is that flying creature?? The image is masterful in its idiom which (intended or not) is fantastic in its combination of colors and texture and unexpected (dragon) imagery. -tv

The dragon sets it off perfectly. Actually it's a really well executed image with very creative processing. Regards, Michael

a dragon definitely does not go w this seriously beautiful image. (ah hum)
if you look closely, he is in a take-off mode. a bit heavy, but he'll make it. can't you see his bill? he's flying away from us. oh well, you must need glasses sharon -- oh, that's right, you're already wearing them. LOL shu

Well, heck, I like the dragon - very much! I still can't see it as a bird, which way is it heading? ~Sharon

this image is worth posting just because ed and i are laughing our heads off over the fact that a "dragon" may have found his way into the shot!! ha ha ha LOL LOL shu

it's some sort of sea bird we saw down at stonington village. i thought the sky needed "somthing" in it, so i dragged a small version of this bird from another image and manipulated it to look like "something flying." a dragon did not come to mind, but maybe on closer look.....LOL oh, i do disappoint, don't i!! shu
