A very interesting composition. We get only a hint of the beast, but know well enough what we are looking at...at least I do. The cloudy murkiness of the water is also interesting...the ancient becomes abstract.
Interesting natural abstract. Perhaps a bit too much negative space, but who knows, it might be less abstract without it. (Not voting, at least yet, just commenting.)
Nice... yeah, I like it. Bold crop, but that's all you need really. Great tones, you've turned the water into milk (well, maybe skim milk... or something) - bumping
I'm not so sure about this one. It's an alligator or crocodile, but just seeing the middle of it and so much negative space doesn't do it for me. You do have excellent detail on the hide. This looks like it may have been a "Skin" outtake.
I'm really not sure exactly what it is about this image that I find so captivating, but you're one of my top 3. I'm certainly a sucker for negative space, so that's part of it. Ah, well. Perhaps it's the undefinable character itself that I love.
The detail on this is so incredible. I happen to be a fan of negative space, but that might work against you. Incredible contrast between the milky water and the sharp scales. I love the crop, and how there is just enough information to know what we're looking at. Love this. A fave.
It almost looks like he is taking a milk bath. Don't think it will help his skin! I like the texture, and the contrast with the smooth water. I'm still trying to put my finger on this picture. I keep coming back to it. The negative space is growing on me. Maybe it's the black and white. Anyway, every time I come back to it I bump it, so that's a good thing. It is definitely a good study in texture.
Certainly in my top few in this challenge. The milky mist of the water hints at the immeasurable time that your title refers to, and makes a powerful statement about the idea of form and function, and aptness to purpose. Thus about beauty. A living Grecian Urn; a 'foster-child of Silence and slow Time ... beauty is truth, truth beauty'. 9.
