i liked this very very much when i first saw it .. as i do love intentional camera movement photos .. and i know that creating just the right look you’re going for can be tricky ..
i think you have nailed it btw .. and your colour pallett is perfect ..
i’m loving the tiny ‘glimmer’ of green in the distance .. like something beckoning .. which makes perfect sense because being in this forest could evoke some almost nightmarish feelings .. the encroaching trees pressing in .. the ground becoming fluid and frightening .. well done on all counts .. :)
I returned multiple times to this one, and each time it rewarded me with something richer to look at. The composition beckons me toward...what, exactly? I'm not sure. Maybe the whispery hint of a vanishing point at the end of a trail. Maybe further into the woods of a fever dream. Maybe deeper into the psyche of one trying to recall a fading memory. Whatever it might be, the choice to seat this aesthetic somewhere between meditative photorealism and painterly expressionism makes it feel as though an imaginative response from the viewer is precisely what the artist had in mind.
