Before a fall [Sin III]
6 January 2006 (112)

Fovant, Salisbury, UK

I'm having so much fun trying to think of different ways of illustrating my(?!) Seven Deadly Sins
(and not sleeping, of course...), that I set up my camera, tripod and lights again, etc.
in the middle of the night, just to get this shot...
-- admittedly after a few failed attempts....

----------

The tyrant is a child of Pride
Who drinks from his great sickening cup
Recklessness and vanity,
Until from his high crest headlong
He plummets to the dust of hope.
(Sophocles: Oedipus Rex)

I'm digging this gallery...so far this is my favorite. The idea, composition, light and motion all make for a wonderful photograph...of probably the ugliest deadly sin (the one I'm most guilty of maybe!!). Good work!

Excellent concept Stephen ;) The shake,rock 'n' roll livens up the scene perfectly :)

Love the sensation of falling made by the slight 'shake'! Looks like Pride is about to take a tumble! Excellent shot! Vote!
