Adding this one to my favorites. I'm sure the majority of the middling votes on this one derive from disagreements over the ability of a two-dimensional medium like still photography to adequately convey a sense of negative space on the z-axis. But I'm not interested in ruling on that. For me, the sense of movement/direction was weak in this composition, but the storytelling and literally everything else about it was so exceptionally stunning--up to and including the muted color tones and the inspired decision to leave (or add?) the slight off-balance tilt to the perspective, lending an otherwise candid moment an almost heroic verve. |
