This is what happens when geese evolve, "2010 — A Strange Odyssey", the truncated monolith, something rotating out of sight up there, the lonely duck in perfect, splendid isolation. For some reason, I am moved. I give you the Golden Paw :-)
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 fear that the magic of this image will be lost on most viewers. But maybe that's what makes it so right for this challenge. The shadowy bird on the left contrasts sharply with the two crooners and one mourner on the right. The bird in profile in the middle (sorry -- are these swans?) more or less anchors the image. A nicely balanced composition, interesting to look at.
What an intriguing story we have here, and in such wonderful light, as though they are on a stage and performing just for you. You seem to have arrived at the height of an aria.
This is just so very beautiful. So much energy in the necks and body positions, beautifully lit - almost glowing in the morning light. And in the distance, the outcast duck silhouette.
