Daily Deviation

Wish to fly away by *Nightline The suggester writes, "I think there are many things that make this picture a masterpiece, but the man's expression is probably the most wonderful. There is honesty and tenderness in his gaze. But there is also solitude—the kind of solitude that is so common in his age. Solitude that eventually makes him search for some comfort, some comfort that feeding the pigeons can bring him. They are fearless. Fearless because they know him. He is a friend and he only wish he could fly away with them." ( Suggested by ~xequemate and Featured by `rhapsouldize )

There is such a raw beauty and power that comes from this man's eyes; there is a mixture of both longing and sadness here. I wonder what story lies behind the gaze of this man. It is a truly stunning photograph and perhaps one of my favourite pieces in your gallery.

---WOOOOWWW he is my Santa from the square in front of the Notre Dame!... did you find him there?:D famous bird-man...but i don't know with his flying eyebrows and messy grey hair and the smile under his moustache he always reminds me of Santa...
it's amazing how dynamic this photo is because of the moving wings and his floating hair and the play with the lines is great too: wings, stripes on his jumper and lines on his forehead... all in a V shape or some...like wings... so i find it very trickily composed and with that look it becomes a captivating piece:D---

Hehe, yes you're right. It's the man in front of Notre Dame. He seems to be very famous regarding the numerous photos on DA. ;)

Thanks for your kind words! :hug:
