An initially striking photo that holds up to longer (and repeated) views. I don't predict challenge outcomes, but I hope you do well!

Thanks. And agreed. Perhaps something like this quick edit...

Originally posted by posthumous: very creative, taking one symbol and turning it into the opposite symbol. well dang, this was one of my favorites and now I see it's a copy of something on shutterstock.

Sorry... I can't claim the idea as an original. I don't use or visit Shutterstock, and frankly, don't remember where/when I originally saw something like this. I created it with the intent of honing some compositing skills and representing a concept about freedom that I thought was particularly germane in our current environment.

So...

Derivative? Yep. No objection to that characterization.
Shameless copy? Not a chance.
Demonstration of improved PP abilities? Absolutely.
Happy with the result/score: Affirmative
Art? Hmmm... I guess that's a question for the beholder.

Thanks for the comments. It's alright with me if it's still one of your favorites :-)

Or not.

Wow. What a standout! Concept, design, abstraction of the essence, and clever title/content connection. Didn't vote, but this would have been a favorite and high score!

Wow, what a stand-out. Instantly appealing and evocative... not to mention well-suited and balanced for square crop!

Interesting side-by-side versions. Karen's initial comment led me to seeing it differently in the original, which I think a still prefer as it allows multiple perspectives related to shape and content. The two side by side provide a fine example of the power of words (Karen's comment) and processing to influence perception.

Thanks!

I'm completely on-board with the new title. It creates a very personal, yet somehow vague, response for me. Timely.

Very cool to see a photograph of art become an art photograph. I strive to see my surrounding the way you have done here. Bravo!
