Title: frayed
Post by: Jeremy Roussak on September 28, 2017, 02:21:26 pm

For some reason I can't quite put my finger on, this appeals to me. Anyone else?

Afrayed knot.......

But seriously - yes it does appeal to me.  The loop to the left reminds me of a reclining figure.

It's an interesting grab, Jeremy.

You must have strange tastes, Jeremy, because I find it quite appealing and emotionally expressive.
The occasional footprints in the snow add to the total effect.

It's a definite candidate for a "bizarre but interesting" thread.

I find it interesting, too --  I know, you haven't asked for that, but for me this picture really is asking for b&w. Just an idea.

I'm always interested in ideas, Stefan, and I try nearly all my shots in b&w at some point. I can't get this one to work, though. The light on the frayed sections, particularly the largest one on the right, just gets lost in monochrome; and I like that light.
