Posted by eydryan (Bucharest, Romania) on 6 July 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual.

Another photo about control. I chose this one since the hand is so obvious and so dominating. What it's about is the right to freedom. We cling on to dreams of freedom but we do not realize that without out system shell we are completely naked and unprotected. We wish for freedom but what we really want is all the ups of the system with no downs.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments on the image yesterday, you really keep me going. I'm not sure how many willl like this one but it's tough to keep a trend going. Anyway, tomorrow will be a special photo I hope :) Again all my thanks to everyone visiting and leaving a comment, you guys motivate me to go on and give you more content to look at :)

PS: I believe the colours are a bit off since my monitor is really borderline with the little tint it has. IF it's distracting please let me know. thanks

@Shuva Brata Deb: Yeah, i agree, it was quite better but then again, this is something else... thanks for the comment.

ColNed Pictures from Amersfoort, Netherlands

I really like the dof here, nice shot !

@ColNed Pictures: thanks mate, looking at it now i see i missed the dof a bit for the socket on the left... but again, thanks. and seriously, if you have any ideas about how it could be better, lay'em on me :)

Kheoh Yee Wei from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

yup me too,i prefer yesterday's shot.keep it up.

@Kheoh Yee Wei: you know, while i'm ok with sdb's comment above i can't help but feel yours is quite.. pointless. i mean, ok i get it, that was a featured shot and this is well not as good. but i don't see the purpose in yours. i mean, ok that's an affirmation, but back it up with something. i mean tell me how i can improve this one or tell me what the difference is, because just saying this is worse really doesn't help me. nonetheless thanks for the visit and the comment but in the future try to help me by giving a reason to why you dislike it...

SPunkt from -, Germany

I like the title.

@SPunkt: :)

just thought it fit given the initial concept of the photo..

Nick Passantino from Bronx, United States

yesterdays shot may have been more appealing because of the smoke trails but this shot is still effective in conveying your intent. well composed with great dof

@Nick Passantino: thanks nick, yours is a really useful comment :)

yeah, i guess that could be it, it gave it a bit more life than these ones which look dead..

and thanks, i had about three different compositions for this shot and i of course had second thoughts about choosing this one.

again, thanks for the constructive comment nick :)

Alfredo J. Martiz J. from Tokyo, Japan

I think the colors in this photo are ok, nice composition eydryan!

@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: yeah, i tinkered with them a bit but looking at it you're right, they're ok.

thanks for the comments friend :)

zoloper from Romania

yeap .. the focus on the light bulb in the upper part it's not fully sharp so the look is more drained to the second l-bulb on with the light falls in a more interesting way :P

@zoloper: well the lighting came from the left of the image thus the second lightbulb was in the zone. also, i found it more interesting to focus on the one in the middle rather than an extremity.

Catalin from Bucharest, Romania

sincer sa fiu, mie mi-au placut manusile. sunt d'alea cu aplicatii gen "ABS". cum zicea si zoloper, focusul e super facut, pe partea de mijloc in cazul primului fasung(parca asa se numeste) si pe partea superioara al celui de al 2lea. nu stiu daca asa ai intentionat(unele creatii super se mai intampla si din greseala) dar mie tot imi place. daca ar fi sa-mi cred monitorul, eu as zice ca sunt ok culorile. k parere personala, as adauga faptul k un fundal uniform ar fi ajutat la centralizarea subiectului. acel obiect alb iti cam atrage privirea si devine putin deranjant. sper ca a mea "critica" sa fie constructiva pe viitor si sa se regaseasca makr intr-o mica proportie in pozele tale ce vor urma. bafta

@Catalin: hehe, sunt misto si sunt ieftine la brico. si practice cand lucrezi cu chestii dureroase pentru maini. si nu i se zice fasung, ala e chestia cu care il insurubezi in soclu, asta nush cum se cheama. oricum, mersi catalin. cat despre focus nu, e complet voit efectul.

oricand un fundal uniform e bun la un astfel de poza dar din pacate nu prea gasesc un astfel de fundal. pe de alta parte unele pot ajuta dand un pic de context pozei. oricum, mersi pentru sfaturi catalin, dar un backdrop e 250ron :(( asa ca nu prea pot. nush exact ce obiect alb dar o sa ma uit si probabil ai dreptate.

mersi pentru comment catalin
