Thank you!
Though some critical words would have been helpfull. :)
Instead of picturing the permormance (action takes place in an Opera and Ballet theatre) i show the hidden part, the preparation.
In that grace-producing house there are ~20 cleaners, who earn 5$ per day. So, with a taste of irony you see the dance of a cleaner in the surreal world of grace.
Your work is simply beautiful. While I wish that your photo had won, or at least placed higher, it would please me even more to continue seeing your work... it's nothing short of inspirational.
I like the composition, the lighting and the shilouettes, but I don't really get how the subject comes to challenge. Maybe a bit artistic interpreation for my taste.
This image is SO cool! I love it. At first glance it's like an illusion; the hands appear as though they could be real, but then you see the little person sweeping and you realize something is messing with you. I love the sepia tint and the silhouetted hands. Ten, very nice job.
Really nice. Where is the display? The lack of details enhances the feeling of being in an alternate universe. The colors work well. I also like the composition. The best thing is how normal the person seems, doing his work, within the scene.
Amazing fresque. Duotone works well to enhance these shadows. Nice reflections too, but I would crop out 1/6 of the bottom to give a better balance to your image.
Well I would have to make some philosophical jumps as to how this fits grace, if the world is a stage or a dream of the gods and he wakes up?? But despite my ability to make a clear connection I love that it makes me stop and think about one, and as a photo on its own I find it truly delightful. The lighting is superb and the size of the hands vs the size of the person, is great.
I don't know that is something I'd consider graceful but it certainly has lots of visual impact - it's quirky, interesting, beautifully lit with wonderful shadows and a warm tone. The position of the person onstage also adds a lot of interest.
