Hrmm, I'd wondered whose this was. Based on the title, I'd never have guessed you. That's not my idea of a tooish title, nor does it look at all like a tooish image. For all of that, it's mysterious and compelling and I gave it an 8.
The idea behind the Posthumous Ribbon is to encourage you to break the rules, to find new and different ways to express yourself. To free your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come, to laugh at world and at life, not doing what others are expecting you to do, but just following and listening to what's in your heart. DPC it’s a wonderful learning place where everyone should be supported on their way to be a photographer. A special attention should be aimed to those working hard with different views and approaches to photography, those not aligned with the mainstream taste and receiving no recognition. It’s our responsibility to support these photographers creating diversity and expressing different visions. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to do it. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to protect your and the other’s freedom of being different. Thanks for taking the time to enter this challenge. Stay wild.
I love how perfectly judged this image is - the coloration, the light, the blur, the grain - just the right amount of everything to give just enough information to appreciate the portrait without this being carried by our human affinity for faces.
This can go so many ways, occasionally frightening with strong contrast and dark, hollow eyes, but the soft skin and lips flip me in the other direction.
