The Overpass

Comment by ubique:
You described this in a forum thread as "oddly compelling". And it is. Compelling is precisely the right word. When a photograph so clearly cries WTF? about all the conventions of photography, it compels you (well, certainly compels me) to admit thoughts that would otherwise by suppressed. So it's Liberating. Loose. Accommodating. As opposed to Prescriptive, Tight-Assed and Intellectually Stingy.

There's still time to enter it in the December Free Study, Robert.

What a GREAT photo. I love these perspective photos. It looks so beautifully cold and wintery in natural black and white.

This was one of my top rated images in the challenge. Beautiful snow-covered trees, I would like to be that person on the road enjoying the quiet solitude.

My first thought was that color photos would be necessary for good lensbaby shots. But I'm seeing some striking black and white stuff too! Nice work.

FANTASTIC!! Fantastic in both the "great" sense and the "fantasy" sense. A dreamlike, cold winterscape, given depth/surreality by the focal range and meaning/significance by the tiny figure in the distance.
