.....ABOUT COLD WINDS

7/7 Excellent

Superb! I wish this is a setting, if not, if you can't run, see more than everybody else, listen more than everybody else, breathe deeply and feel it more than anybody else, feel the touch of the wind more and better than anybody else, the sand running in your fingers you feel it better than anybody else.

So many people "with two legs" will cross this world, running after some hypothetical tomorrow, without using in the deepest sense (while the sand in the hourglass keeps running) their ears to listen, eyes........, skin........

Merci ! Thank you to the model and the photographer.

Excellent work and VERY original and superb aesthetic 7/7.

This reminds me alot of Susanna from the dark tower series as soon as I saw it. Alone on a beach in a device not made to be there. Well done.

looks like a comic book's drawing. unsharp mask works very well except for sky's midtones.. anyway, the most important thing in this photo isn't aesthetics of course. it's pretty emotional.

Evocative

It tells a beautiful yet sad story.

very intense !!!!

Maravillosa imagen.

Wonderful story. IMHO, the background being so surreal is likened to a dream, an intangible reality for the person in the wheelchair who isn't able to just get up and walk out to the water. The rendering is a little rough but all in all the story and the empotions behind the image well outweight the technical aspects. Regards.

It looks like you had a wonderful image to begin with but the added manipulation is WAY overdone and works against the powerful impact. Why? Because it calls attention to ITSELF and not to what the image is speaking. The toughest thing for all of us to learn is at what point further post-processing begins to work against the message. Your photo is great on so many levels, I think you should have trusted it a few clicks of the mouse earlier.

 

But aside from that, what I really like in this picture is the complex feeling it evokes. A wheelchair in the sand binds one to the earth, with the daydream of the unbound clouds free in the sky.

 

The sand trickling through fingers reminds of TIME and that "this too shall pass". But it also offers a clue to what the person is thinking.

 

A wheelchair can also be seen as a symbol, an icon of limits, as can the shore.

 

Many interpretations possible. Great shot.
