This one could illustrate a poem about a romantic death (if there is such a death), or perhaps the peaceful but mystic end of something. Or it’s a subtle announcement of something still to come. What a rich image!
I see the followers of the light; a child, and a man who lived the three stages of life and are finally free after their physical death which is their spiritual rebirth.
Karen – do you have an agent? You need to find one that will help you mount a show – these images are too gorgeous – really- seriously – you have such range and scope – from the burlap – still my faves- to the micro to the new abstract – seriously beautiful graceful special brilliant ART! K
Karen, this series of swallow shots is wonderful and this is my favourite so far – it really looks like a painting. The combination with those blurred grasses works extremely well, and especially so having the bird with its wings most spread in the left of that gap in the grasses. Adrian
draw and shoot

You are creating such glorious patterns here Karen, such delicacy.
Karen, your composites are beautiful. This one especially so.
This is just wonderful, Karen. I sure hope you hang a few of these somewhere.
Wow!
Incredibly beautiful. Art, Karen, and I don’t use that word often. It is so uplifting. Soul food.
Uplifting is indeed a good word for this… it has a wonderful fluidity about it.. good job Karen
Magical moments framed in time! Wonderful, elegant, feather weight aerial ballet captivated for eternity!

Is that a multiple exposure of a swallow, or 4 swallows in 1 photo? It’s beautiful work.

Beautifully created.
I really love the results you get with your layering/sequencing & it it is a wonderful exploitation of the capabilities of the digital medium.

I wondered what these swallows would become! Perfectly beautiful – the composite master!

Haha… I accidentally “liked” this while at work and logged in under my work account. Now, from me personally: LOVE this!

Stunning
It’s exquisite, Karen. The sparkle of the grasses, the vague sense of water out there, and of course the finely rendered swallows.
Karen, this is quite a lovely composition. Spiritual in its feel I would say.
Beautiful and poetic Karen.
