Heaven

Malaysia

I stood there composing the man in the silhouette, waiting and praying that the clouds won't move so that I get that dramatic effect and waited for a bird to fly past. It's tricky to get a three flow combination on the spot. Just imagine holding the camera and waiting for the birds to fly by and at the same time you can't move because you want to position the man right, as though he is looking up to the heavens. I already knew what I wanted to create, a story line of a man sitting in solitude; looking up to the heavens with the birds soaring up in the sky. Thanks to Phil Douglis for that inspiration.

I remember when we were shooting this subject together at the Batu Caves, Tricia. I am delighted that you took what I was seeing there, and made it your own by incorporating the birds. Since I was doing a new gallery on rhythms and patterns, I selected an image based on the relationship between the clouds and other statues that on this same rooftop.
