Artist's Comments

“That pleasure which is at once the most pure, the most elevating and the most intense, is derived, I maintain, from the contemplation of the beautiful.” - Edgar Allan Poe

I was really pleased with this one; I hope you all like it... cause I made a fool out of myself when taking it. Hehe. Lots of self timer... running man action. :D I think the quote I offered above best describes what I was aiming for. I was walking on this path then noticed the natural arch... and thought it was so beautiful... then I knew it was time to explore some shot opportunities.

As always any and all input, critiques, comments, :+fav:'s are welcomed and greatly appreciated.

Update (9-18)- Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has :+fav:'ed and commented on this. The reaction to this photo has been incredible, and I'm glad that everyone has enjoyed it so much. :)

Daily DeviationContemplation by =mrcool256 - Another doorway in my path. Should I cross it or not? A wonderful illustration of the choices one faces everyday. Really like the use of IR in this shot as well. It helps detach the model and the environment from the material world and transfer it to the world of thoughts and choices.

You're a great artist! I'm glad that I can see these scenese of another world.
The idea is great, colours are wonderful and the POV is superb! :wow:

What could I write more than this?
Oh yeah, I'm adding too this pic :nod:

Definitely another amazing piece... I really like the whole set up of it, but the dark patch off to your left looks almost hungry and I think that really sells it for me... Given what you said in the description that probably doesn't really fit with what you were going with, but it's definitely what makes it fav-able for me.

Wicked.
