well, I pulled some old jpegs together as a draft, but I can't get it to work really. Even if it is a draft, the only thing that truly pisses me off is how much the web rapes the colour here.

er, feel free to ignore last night's 2:00 am ramblings below

My primary concerns up to this point are thus:

i) composition won't work with this set up and these wings - it's too square, too disjointed and as such is static; the image should be a wider landscape reading left to right... also, with these wings it's unclear that you're looking at the trees in the background

ii) Not sure what to do for wings... I'm pushing it on the cliché scale already I feel.

iii) the original idea was to do a frontal portrait and, much the same as the rock is now (desaturated/ high contrast), have a bit if a city scene (street) with a bit of sidewalk or a car with a similar fade to white. The model would be dressed to climb, hovering (toes pointed down) a litte ways off the ground, face turned down to left with similar expression as the girl in this shot and the wings would bleed through to a bright background... but I dunno:

too contrived without enough originality? I'm not trying to be deep or metaphorical or nothin', just a bit of a 'feeling trapped in the city with climbing on the brain' theme.
