Come a little bit closer...

comments/critique welcome

This photo really caught my eye (for obvious reasons!). While I find the picture to be a little unsettling, I admire the creativity and visual elements involved, particularly the striking color contrast between the hand and surrounding grass, and the variety of textures presented.

this is so cool. Great idea and very well captured, too! :)

Thanks to you both, this really "tickled" me when I first saw it. I thought it was such a clever idea for a garden.

The green is so rich-beautiful. Imagine the reaction if it was 1 finger over!! :-)

Exactly Leann,,,, my thoughts exactly.

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said:?Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,

Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown

And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,

The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear:

"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains: round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

 

a sonnet by Percy Bysshe Shelley
