Maya,
Your idea looks like a perfect revival tool for the whole forum. I would also like to chip in.
Thanks,

I am impressed with the embers/coals look.

Nikolai, that is spectacular how you got the burning feathers looking like they are disintegrating and disappearing in motion as the bird flies!!! Fantastic effect and beautifully done image!!! I just thought about the Phoenix and, correct me if I'm wrong, in Russia don't they have a "Firebird" story also? I think I may have seen it portrayed on some decorative pieces made there and heard there is a story with it unique to Russia. I know there is a classical music piece called "The Firebird" also, and perhaps it was inspired by the story?
Very nice work, and glad you shared this piece with us!!!

P.S. The idea to go forward with the forum-wide postings belongs to David King, I just jumped in and promoted it as I really loved the idea too.

Now, that wouldn't have been the first impression---but now you've gone and done it! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] And you've got it "very well-done" too by the looks of things with that poor phoenix there [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] . Looks great, seriously now, it's a striking image! I really like it a lot!
Mike--just goes to show how so many original images can spring from a simple subject---I really like how the firey sunset and projection into the sky of the phoenix shape come together in yours. It creates an atmosphere of time and coincidence with the rising and setting of the sun. Great and original work as usual, Mike!!!
Thanks Brian and Mike for contributing in the spirit which David and I hoped for! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
