Description
The Messenger
His swift promise of yearnings met brought by flight,
Air lifting, wings of wind unfettered, talon sharp but still light.
She waits by the stones of past times and lost ages,
To hear the words so long denied her.
Words magic and treasured by long dead sages.
When he reaches her and she shall reach out,
The two shall twine, the message given, no longer doubt.
Perfect understanding, riddles unfolded, love gives life,
Hers to set free again to return if it is fate,
On wings again, course unknown, love takes flight.

I'm still learning to use people in my images so this was good experience for me. Also would like to know if there is a way in Paint Shop to soften the background a bit without blurring it too much. I used Blur but it's too much. Thanks for any comments.

This is such a beautiful scene Nancy! I use the soften tool to slightly blur. It works pretty well for me. I have to of course adjust the opacity and all but it works :) Excellent image! :)
Excellent work Nancy.
Love the composition! And the depth of field is awesome!
back again! you got me curious now.. have always liked what i've seen of Bryce but now i'm out of room on my HD cuz i like having so many of my photos on hand.. lol.. the guy who sold me my 1st PC 3.5 yrs ago was so wrong! when he said i'd never fill up 40GB.. :P so maybe someday with a new PC.. I'll see what this is all about.. so will just admire what you have here! :]
("Look at all that dinner flying around! But I've got--grumble--a romantic message to deliver, and I can't let the lady see me eating her tweeties on the job! Drat!") :D Nice image! I like the posing of the eagle and the gal, but the "tweeties" might want to tuck their feet up in flight, and their wings should pull forward on the downstrokes. Slap me if you don't want me to say this in public! :D
This is hot...
