Challenge: Faceless Portrait (Advanced Editing IV)
Collection: Successful Challenge Entries
Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM for Nikon
Location: Bay Village, Ohio

 I've been trying to get some wide shots with the 10-20mm - so here's one.

I like to think this has heavy metaphorical qualities to it - -balanced between nature and technology ... walking the fine line into what appears to be a beautiful sunrise/sunset ... or is it something else ? ... the subject is forced to look at his own feet in introspection rather than enjoying the scenery ... simply to maintain balance - or is that just a load o' pooey :) !?

Very creative viewpoint and nice use of leading lines taking you towards the Sunset/rise?

Nice! I especially like the motion of the hands. The fire of light at the end is a delightful bonus.

Lovely colors and composition! The hands being in motion is a nice touch. I hope this is not truly representative of the mental state of the subject!!
