‘I will not be clapped in a hood,
Nor a cage, nor alight upon wrist,
Now I have learnt to be proud
Hovering over the wood
In the broken mist
Or tumbling cloud.’
William Butler Yeats – The Hawk

What a lovely shot. How did you achieve the crinkled look of the background?
I enjoyed the accompanying poem very much.
Beautiful! Deb is seeing all the beauty there is.
Beautifully captured and the processing is so complimentary to the scene.
Usually I am not much taken with adding texture to an image but here it brings a tactile sense to the image and works wonderfully well. As with all blanket statements or likes or dislikes there always are exceptions. Lovely image and Yates is beautiful.
I love your usage of texture in this photo, it got that grungy look to it. Love the poem and the hawk.
wonderful shot, and i like the processing.
I think there are two trees here? Maybe like two friends … one has fallen … while the hawk looks on … somewhat sad perhaps. Great photo though.
