===== From t.degroot@inter.nl.net: Also an effective interpretation of the concept, although I feel this to be a lot more conventional. A suggestion: add the shadow only of a bird, by using no_image. Imo, the scene would have been more stricking. ===== From helene.dumur@free.fr: a very good picture, simple and so meaningfull ===== From paleblue@gmail.com: Nice, clean concept. I really like the point of view. ===== From file: An excellent work of art. The theme is at work in more than just the one obvious sense of the cage’s inhabitant having departed. The inclusion of a single non-monochromatic element heightens the drama of the "absence" of color in the rest of the composition. The visual weights of empty and filled spaces are well balanced in a fine composition with a laudable "absence" of clutter. Bravo! Notable for originality, composition
