Hi Gill, quite the interesting image. Is this an ice sculpture?
No. It’s a glass ornament shaped like a bird. It has a wire pole to support it and was stuck in the ground in a yard. I had a vision of what it would look like and took a few shots.
Thanks for showing interest 
I find this image fascinating, especially the reflections when viewed in the enlarged view. Technically, possibly a bit more room at the top.
It’s a little more balanced on my lap top original. But I did leave room at the bottom to give the bird in flight somewhere to go.
With all the editing to capture my vision , it was hard to keep the image tight. Also the background was used to show movement in the wings. Took a lot of burning and dodging and exposure filters to get that effect.
Thanks for showing interest.
Thanks Gill. That’s great to hear about your vision for the image. The subject definitely stands out against the dark background.
