    a beautiful poetic rendered image that works on many levels...Very rare on JPG.The anxiousness of the pose, the approaching wave, the arresting light entering from above right, dreamlike image quality and remarkable color palette work exquisitely together. Each and every viewer will come away from your image with different thoughts and meanings. As in your Gravity Powered image, I wanted to share exactly how I interpreted your photograph. I seldom refer to images here on JPG as photographs…unfortunately most are snapshots that belong in someone’s family album. This one deserves wall space in a gallery…imho.

    very interesting. Is it a photo of a photo? the light play in the upper right corner makes me ask.

    To Judy,
    Yes, this most certainly is a single photgraph, made with a film using camera.
    The camera is a Holga, often thought of as a "toy camera".
    It's a very rudimentary camera by most standards, but the results are amazing.
    The light play as you call it, is actually a light leak.
    Thanks for commenting.
    And thanks to everyone else too!

    Touching. I stared at it for a few minutes making up a story in my mind. This is what photography should be imho.
