Bones

A dry summer's day
A slight breeze
Warm thoughts drift
and sway with the
delicate flowers held
by outstretched bone branches.

Very lovely in mood, tones, texture and feel.

How to say goodbye...

Comment by CNovack:
Very nice processing for it has a look and feel of a memory imprint of the day the viewer said goodbye to a loved one as they leave for their journey. The colors and tones springs to my mind a warm, late afternoon as the loved turns toward the sun as it begins it's downward path to set behind the hill. The composition has a bittersweet feel/mood to it.

I'd actually be curious about the source of your ambivalence, because this is a damn darn good picture. From the thumbnail, I thought it was going to be a diving image like the one that just ribboned in jump :-)

But the glow around here, emphasized by the vignetting at the edges, creates this bubble of fantasy (or the energy of life), which is linked to the outer world represented by the ship. It could also mean that external, material things are no match for her spiritual self. It is a very eloquent and elegant image.

Oh I love it. With what she's wearing, it looks like a bathing suit from the 20's. I like the juxtaposition between her and the ship. I rather like it myself. She's opening herself up to the possibilities. Dreaming of going off on that ship. Yep, that's my take on it.

Why ambivalent? I think this is rather awesome in fact. You have produced some wonderful work in this side challenge
