Such a beautiful image with great textures and colours. Can't believe it didn't do better in this challenge (I voted 8, one of my top 5).

Comment by Bear_Music:
Bumping. I appreciate this more on second pass. A lot more... There's an utterly dispassionate clarity to it that appeals, and an in-your-face conflation of symbol and object that workd very well conceptually.

Thanks pamb - perhaps people thought it was smoke and not motion blur or perhaps the competition was just too good. There was no smoke involved of course - just a couple of dice in my kitchen on some black card with a small torch as a light source and a second curtain flash (I think that is what it was called - it was first time I had used this so the challenge was excellent for teaching me a new trick)

I had wanted to do this with white dice but the only dice I could find in the house were red semi-transparent dice so had to make do.

Comment by EL-ROI:
I like the line of trees and the extreme light and dark tones. I am not too fond of the yellowish toning on this, as it doesn't shout out the coldness of the elements exposed to. (Since yellow is a warm tone.)

Comment by pixelpig:
The camera angle makes a strong contribution to the fascinating charm of this comp. I've never before seen a man-made structure haunted by a tree. What an idea. The clear light & sharp focus add a quirky touch of reality to this hyper-real shot. Good work.
