Fear of falling!

Had a lot of fun with backlighting last week.

All C&C welcome

Extraordinarily incredible! Beautiful!

[Daisy Mae]

Thank you so very much christina!

I like it but don't see the falling aspect, perhaps if you could stack the three frames. It does give an impression of fear though.

I am with John...it feels more like fear than the fear of falling...

Thanks Izzie.

Frankly I'd rather not give shots titles because then it becomes important to people that it 'fits' their view of those words....quite often with me it's a case of must call it something to identify it and for posting....this is a case in point.

I am really only concerned with what it evokes in the viewer..if it speaks to you of fear..then that's what it is.

I have considered calling things 'no 6' but it wouldn't get many views I suspect!

Great capture, as usual :-)

A very dear friend just told me a story which is really relevant to this.

He was in the Tate gallery and saw a shelf about 5ft tall with a pint glass, half filled with water..by a door. It was entitled 'Forest by twighlght'.

Underneath it simply said... you see things your way.... i see them mine....

I'm not very fond of titles either Sharon. I like the image

Thanks Izzie.

Daisy/Sharon,

Numbers can be very symbolic as well. Just the sound of 6 reminds me of snakes.

Say it three times and I'm trembling under the covers.

I like the processing, Sharon, and your use of all that black space. I know you aren't fussed by titles but... If the figure's arms were stretched straight out, at about 45degrees to the shoulders, reaching upwards, then that would connote fear of falling backwards through the glass and into that (vertiginous) swirling background.

But with the arms being bent, and especially with the left hand hooked into a claw-like shape, the figure suggests a dark predator posed against the dreamscape in the background. So, I read this image as a fear of falling asleep -- the light beams perhaps represent the breaking dawn indicating the victim has been awake all night.

On the other hand, if you hadn't given it a title, I might have thought the figure has arisen early and is stretching and yawning before going outside for a walk along the beach.

In any case, once again, your image has stimulated my imagination. Thanks for sharing.

Haunting.

I've learned to ignore your titles as they seldom sync with what your image(s) tells me. But then, one does need to get a viewing audience so titles, however apt or not makes one curious.
I like the image, I see your dark side sneaking back in so I know that all is well with (well...at least your) world.
