Interesting composition and dof decision Charles. Excellent subject/ground separation based on hue as well. I like the name and it seems to fit although I couldn't explain it.

Pat,

Thanks for the comment.

My perhaps overly active imagination sees a figure with a white fur lined hood holding on to the mast of a ship (the very bottom of the ship is below the frame). In the background is either an icy seascape or maybe the aurora borealis. Then too the plant reminds me of an anchor and the whole image makes me think of the old Netscape Navigator logo. This just said "pirate ship" to me.

Cheers,

Charles

Charles I like the monochromatic look to this image. Nicely captured.
