Light 'n dark 3
Posted by Helen (Melbourne, Australia) on 30 March 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual.
With "Helen!" on their lips, and in their eyes
The vision of me. Always I shall be
Limned on the darkness like a shaft of light
That glimmers and is gone.
Extract from
Helen of Troy And Other Poems by Sara Teasdale

@Rahul: I have only cropped this image. I was overwhelmed by the extraordinary light in the sky so I posted the photo as is.

Very dramatic sky. I light the symbolism of the red light but do find it distracting. ;-)

@amy: I agree with you Amy. I toyed with the idea of cropping out the red light. In the end symbolism won over aesthetics. I couldn't really win with this photo due to the pole in front of the cloud burst. In the end the red light gave the other pole a reason for being there.

Excellent. A scene from the everyday, yet it isn't. Great work.

I like the contrast between the natural sky, and the red stoplight and car headlights. As said before, the poles may be a little bit distracting, but the picture is very interesting nontheless.
