Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I do like the image but I'm finding it hard to articulate why. There are many effective elements, the hand, the uber-blurry face, the shadows, the subtle lighting behind the figure, the overall scene shrouded in mystery - all very effective.

Critical stuff: You know I like the elements - I'm not so sure it all hangs together though; I like images with a story and although there is plenty of mystery here, There is something not quite working for me - I wonder if it is the lighting on the left, the brightness undermining the potential menace of the right side.

Overall: Intriguing, an at least partially successful image (for me) and certainly one I've been pleased to meet.

Thank you for the very kind mention in your Photographer's Comments, Richard. I have been genuinely enthralled by some of your recent stuff. Inspired too. And I could not be more delighted to see your Posthumous Blue. I think it's especially great that you are doing this kind of work lately because, unlike me, you have something to lose! I never was much good so it doesn't matter to me if I crash & burn score-wise.

how creepy. love that you can see so much really with so little light. that black square with the faint red light around it has me wondering.

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.
