a Posthumous ribbon in the Posthumous challenge - how cool is that! Thank you Don so much for the honor, and for the inspiration, in this challenge and in general.
...and thanks to others for the great comments and faves!
the image? just an unfocused shot of a bunch of thin dry weeds, backlighted by the late afternoon sun.

Now that I look at it again I see people dancing. Sort of stick people. They must be celebrating your success, Lev! Congrats.
And I loved this comment from Melethia: " Wonderfully woven warmth!" That is so very good, isn't it? Well done for the image and for inspiring that perfect comment.
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.
wow, this fills me with childlike glee for some reason. I expect to see a Wild Thing behind those weeds.
I'm giving 5 ribbons total. This is my Posthumous Yellow
Love the complexity emerging from such simple shapes and limited colors. The sense of depth and motion evoke compounded feelings -- mixture of peace and beauty with hint of mystery and perhaps sadness. Excellent image.
