Beneath the Veneer

I'm speechless, except to say...

great use of negative space and placement of the gaze from left to right in to that space
the representation of the subject as a composite of puzzle pieces, in the context of the riviting eyes
makes one ask who the "I" is, really.

secondly what emerges from the darkness is reconstructed from gray shades
not a 360° "real" image, but an impression that one realizes is a a dream

Who would have thunk something like this would appear on NPN??? WOW

Fairly obvious (and true) statement of teen angst and anxiety. Almost as if the child is growing faster than her skin can accommodate. Doesn't surprise me that a Nature Photographer would post this.

To reiterate, I continue to see in this image as something far beyond "teen angst and anxiety', Phil, though that may have been the artist's intent, for all I know.

And I only hope that you, and everyone else, for that matter, can carry that superior sentiment with you throughout the entire remainder of your life; up to the very end of it, as you cross over into the abyss; Assuming, that is, you have thought that far ahead.

At age 65, I guess I must be re-entering my "teen years of anxiety"; on the downward path toward my second childhood

Thank you gentlemen for your comments, I appreciate the incite to how you see the image.

Love it..leaves one to wonder what message is here???

A very creative and a little disturbing image. I guess we all feel like we're coming to pieces sometimes.

Software is allowing us to use the camera to do more than simply photo what we see. It can now help us show what we feel.

Thank you all for the great comments.

I have to agree Kent , though I am still a basic editor in the computer as I lack the desire to really learn how to get the most out of it , I do like to use it as I would have a darkroom and there was a lot we could do with our images even before the computer . I just think of it as my digital darkroom.
