Endika, I can see the ballerina, but i can't hear the music. Bet it's the swan lake. Beautiful. Goffen

Well, this one has provoked some very mixed reactions, which I think is the essence of a good image. I have some back this several times now and still can’t find the right words to convey my impressions. Suffice to say this would look great printed to about 10x8 then framed with a generous white or cream matt. I think that means I like it :-)

Thank you for your comments. Marc: I think I understand what do you want to mean. When I started to take this photo, it was an exercise of "white on white", but while I was fighting with the breeze and the changing lights and shadows in my subject, I realised that something was happening under the skin of this square inch of reality, as if I was seeing through a window a ballerina dancing a piece of ballet: I can't hear the music, I can't see the whole choreography, but I can feel that something of magical is happening. I think that this photo is, in some way, an attempt to transmit this feeling more than an attempt to "describe" something. Thank you for your criticism, it made me reflect about how (and why) I take photos. endika

Mmmm, not for me. I see a very good creative potential, but i can't figure what i see in it. It seems to work well for others though ! Marc

It reminds me of an anemone with the tentacles teasing swaying with the currents. Beautiful

Very unusual look at this flower. It worked out nicely! It made it come alive with motion.
