Disturbing...

schmelli · 08/24/08, 11:27 PM

... I saw this one while playing with my son at the playground. Someone took a nap in the middle of the sports field next door, using his wheelchair (!) as a pillow... I already had a mildly funny feeling when I took the shot, but now looking at the negative which just arrived from my lab the scenery becomes even more disturbing... it suddenly became a prison court, with a not-at-all-so exciting message! Funny, how sometimes the eyes seem to compose pictures that we barely sense rather than clearly see...

All the best

Striking image. Well done.

GREAT. I like that you didn't stick the lens through the fence. As Martin says, a striking image.

One wouldn't think he was napping - it looks so much more ominous!

Jyn -

Excellent composition, challenging emotional impact.

Jyn,

your image is disturbing indeed (!)
and your text expresses rather well
what is going on concerning a photograph
made out of THE reality!
Great moment on this forum!
