Abbas

This photograph is title Abbas and was made by Uttar Pradesh in 2011.  I think this photograph is very striking with the bright moon above the dark horizon and the bird flying toward the moon from so close to the camera.  I love how clear the background of the photograph is and how blurry the bird is, making it the least important yet most interesting aspect of the image.  The color of the sky at the top of the photograph is a beautiful color and the way the bird blurs into the color gives the viewer the impression that the bird is flying up and toward the moon.  Overall I think this photograph is very successful and leaves the viewer wondering where the image was taken and how that bird was so close to the camera.
