7th Place
If
by mlynn

If (Waters)

If I were a swan, I'd be gone.
If I were a train, I'd be late.
And if I were a good man,
I'd talk with you
More often than I do.

If I were to sleep, I could dream.
If I were afraid, I could hide.
If I go insane, please don't put
Your wires in my brain.

If I were the moon, I'd be cool.
If I were a book, I would bend for you.
If I were a good man, I'd understand
The spaces between friends.

If I were alone, I would cry.
And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry.
And if I go insane,
And they lock me away,
Will you still let me join in the game?

If I were a swan, I'd be gone.
If I were a train, I'd be late again.
If I were a good man,
I'd talk with you
More often than I do.

Thank you so much Julie, Najinsky, and tv! --Melanie

This looks painterly in a Dali sort of way and very well done. Pardon me for enjoying it for what the image speaks instead of how it matches the words. It seems mystical and cosmic and far grander and focused than the disjointed meanderings of the words. -tv

This is really excellent. I could easily see this in a shop under the Floyd section. Regards -Najinsky

Great concept Melanie and well executed. Julie

Thank you Yuvraj! Originally I was playing with an idea something like the album cover for 'Pulse'; or something for 'Wish You Were Here'--but instead I ended up with something that I thought 'If' described better. ---mlynn

This is so cool Melanie .. I wish you could have entered this in Eligible ..where's a Canon when you need one? :)

Awesome idea and goes so wonderfully well with the title. :)

Thank you Kelly! It's not in eligible because the landscape and the sun/ball(which was actually an image of the setting sun this past very-smokey summer) were both taken earlier this (now, last) year with my R1. The other elements were taken just the past couple of days, but the large eyeball was with my S3 (as I have a macro lens for it). The figural was taken with my digital rebel. The final image is new, as I put it together last night. --Melanie

Thank you for this Melanie! - This is wonderful - but why isn't this in Eligible? Either place, it's a winner. - Kelly
