Thank you all for your valuable comments and for the poetic contribution, I'm happy to see that me picture has inspired some of you. This ribbon is a great inspiration for me, I'll work hard to try to keep the good score in future challenges :)
Little info on the mountain, when I took this photo I had just climbed that mountain, it's not for those scared of heights, but the view from the top is totally magnificent.
An interesting image assumed to meet the challenge.
Congratulations Benedikt on a well deserved yellow ribbon for this magnificent entry. Yes, symmetry does work but it has to be done well is indeed you have done here, those beautifully mirrored reflections are simply stunning. The colours are all natural and very pleasing. I say assumed to meet the challenge because I am not familiar with the poem but thank you for your helpful comments. The only minor criticism I have is that there appears a slight halo around the mountain that suggest just a tad too much sharpening, its certainly not excessive but it is evident on close inspection. Anyway, that is not to take away from your excellent entry and result well done Benedikt.
We offend them, like yellowjackets at a funeral.
They shrug unnoticed. We color them at the base
and lose will towards the top. They ignore us unnoticed.
They sigh and explain things to each other unnoticed.
They won't die within our noticing. They refuse unnoticed.
