Challenge: Art of 2011 (Advanced Editing VII*)
Collection: Landscapes and People
Camera: Nikon D7000
Lens: Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM for Nikon
Date: Aug 20, 2011
Aperture: 29.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1
Date Uploaded: Mar 12, 2012

At the beginning I didn't want to enter this challenge. Art is a different concept for everyone and moreover I found unuseful to search something we had done in 2011 without shooting something new.

Then I thought that this shooting session (that gave me a blue ribbon in the August FS) could score well. I knew I could attract low voters because this was a sort of outtake, but I didn't care and submitted this image.

I don't know if I should be happy or not with this result so I just thank who voted and commented on this image.

(2)- 1 votes. I guess that shows the interpretation of art really is a personal thing. For me, this image creates multiple feelings. Just when you think you seem to have things under control, along comes an issue. Or, go ahead and enjoy all life has to offer, but remember what is waiting at the end of it. Lots of interpretations. Great shot Alessandro, congrats on a very strong finish with lots of great entries.

What a cool idea, rather than just another pretty long-exposure waterscape, we have a dark twist, one that works really well for me. Great stuff.

What a fun shot. I very much like the choice of center composition and the fact that death is showing up at the last minutes of daytime.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Great title. The water looks fluid... the grim reaper looks very intimidating. Simple, yet outspoken at the same time. Very wonderful image!!!

The mid evil feel is Great. I've seen this in different form last year, but doesn't stop me from loving it.
