Charon approaches, and that's nothing to be scared of..

"The scarf covered face under that conical Asian hat presents a scene without human interference. The shapes reign here and they are presented with elegance and sensitivity. To me an alien world, one of painful beauty and eternal life."

No human interference.. That's actually one of the nicest comments I have read..

Magnificent is the word, it makes me so much wish to reach forward and touch the texture of the paint.. I might leave thumb prints though, and somebody did already.

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Composition over clarity - I like that. The washed out nature of the contrast, the utterly understated strength of the structure and the (nearly) negative space make for a most effective image.

Critical stuff: Too well balance to suggest any changes - I imagine that if you changed the slightest thing, the whole image would fall apart.

Overall: A stunning example of how an image can be more than the sum of its parts.
