Hello, your shot has been chosen for my Daily 5! This is where I choose 5 shots per day (or close enough) from the Recently Uploaded list that do not yet have comments, and comment on them.
There's something about a portait that, when shot so that part of the face is in shadow, can really stand it out just that much more. It gives it a sense of mystery and unknown, and especially when the half we can see seems to be uplifting, it still says, "What about the part we can't see? What hides there in the dark, in the recesses, hidden and withheld. What do we not know about this person, that perhaps they don't want us to know?"
It reminds me that in all of us, is a certain duplicity. Light and Dark. Good and Evil. Mask and Unmask. |
