Starr Kempf sculpture of a phoenix
I was captivated by the Starr Kempf sculptures in Colorado Springs. This is one of a phoenix. Again, not much time to shoot or edit....

That's a really striking image, and a great choice for a silhouette. The sculptural forms at bottom right do a lot to enhance the effect.

I like this photo too but what I love about it is the battle between the little tiny "flying machine" in the sky next to the wing against this mighty bird!

I agree Michele - that little flyer caught my eye too--that is neat! Marilyn, I saw the thumbnail of this and knew the sculpture in Colorado Springs! Great eye finding this and beautiful job capturing it. Nice framing too as I know there is a lot of distracting elements there too.
