Afternoon

It is fun to let the randomness sort itself out in my mind. You have to admit that you have something easy to attach to here: mother and daughter. This is the first thing that settles out of the chaos, and almost immediately. This photo would have been completely different in a second either way, because the intense stare of the mom makes it clear that the two are together.

The next thing I notice is the motion blur (yes and some blur blur) on the child, giving her a sense of ephemerality, which contrasts with the focus of the mom, as though she is gripping hard on sand.

Then I notice the Jesus on her shirt. The body of Jesus is superimposed on her own. Jesus' shining heart is on her stomach, his head on her chest, almost reminding me of Madonna Laktans.

Then I notice the foreground bicycle that is tangled up with mother's form. And since it's foregrounded I wonder if it's my bicycle, and I can't help comparing it with all the little bicycles in the background, the baby bicycles, part of that strange assemblage of parents and children serving as backdrop for the main drama of Earth Mother whose messianic daughter bursts into the pure light of Eternity. Or something like that.

I love the high contrast of this. I wonder if the shadows should be a shade darker (but that could be a monitor issue). I *love* the spiky shadows of the birds. I love the fluff along the bottom, like a discarded boa. I get this sense of "morning after", of a party being over. The graffiti probably contributes to that feeling, as though it were the remnants of a good time. Just to repeat myself, love the shadows and want them to be even darker...

way to go! this shot is much more interesting than the top 10, and it's tough to make an interesting shot with symmetry.

p.s. I didn't notice the bug!
