Description
Some of you may recognize this shot. This is the print edition of Orlando Dawn; redone, bordered, titled, and packaged with extra love for mom. She's always wanted this shot and now I can finally give it to her.((Original writing))
You've been going on so long and for a reason you know not. You fight to keep your eyes open and pray for sleep. Finally it comes. You stop in your tracks, doze off into a happier place.
...
.....
...
Suddenly your dreams come crashing down and reality rises back into command. You hear a honk, and then another. Shouts of rage echo around your metal cage. Then you realize your mistake; you missed it. You kept them waiting for a whole 39 seconds.
...the light WAS green and now it's RED

wow, i keep discovering such jewels when you update old pics. i love this one and you can be sure that as soon as i have some extra cash, this print will decorate the walls of my room. i just love this dirty sky, this gradient from green to yellow simply rocks my socks. those cables and the streetlight thingy limit the space so well and they keep this dirty feeling on the ground too. great work man

Ok, here we go: I told you, when we first started talking, that this is a personal favorite of mine. Though that fact remains the same, the reason why is completely different now. First off, there's SO much to look at in this. I mean, during the school year, this can provide me with at least a good 10 minutes of procrastination!! This used to give me a dark feel when I saw it, but now, I only see a lighter side.
This picture gives me hope. The hope is provided through the layers you've put in this: the stop light itself, the wires, and then the sky. I see this as a stoplight from God. Life gets quite complicated for me sometimes, and wires get crossed, and I feel like I've gotten myself in deeper than I could imagine.. I see this as God putting up a red light and saying, "wait 40 seconds." The waiting provides time to think, evaluate, meditate, and calm down. "Let go, and let God," if you will. He puts up a red light, and sometimes we see it coming in the distance, and we have time to slow down to a stop, and other times, it comes out of nowhere. Then we make the decision whether to slam on our breaks and do what he wants us to do, or run the light and completely ignore the sign he's put in front of us.
As I mentioned above, by stopping at the light, we're given time to "Let go, Let God." He then helps to straighten out our problems... At first glance, I see those telephone wires as just a mess.. all over the place. Complete chaos. But at second glance, when I take the time to stop and look, they're all in perfectly straight lines. Layed out right there, all nicely, before me. And after you understand the lines, and where they come from, go, and lead to, and you take God's word for it, and put your faith in Him, then you can reach the 3rd layer, which is peace of mind, found in the clouds BEHIND the wires. Then you realize how beautiful and grand peace can be.
All because you stopped at the red light! And then it turns green, and He lets you go on with your day.
*Whew.* I know that's a biiiit of a stretch. Sorry. But I can see why your Mom's so crazy about this one. It's wonderful, Nathanial.

i didn't comment on the first one, so i might as well now
awesome shot, colors are great, usually i wouldn't like all the powerlines in a shot, but it works very well for this

Hey ..... I like this one. All the crossing powerlines is a cool capture. The blurred yet crisp (haloed) effect looks very good....... one of my favorite effects for my own work (as you may already know). The range of colors in the sky are nice as well..... soft and subtle. And very nice text treatment.

wow the powerlines look so sleek and smooth it almost makes the sky itself look like a musical instrument.
i like the red light. it works well with the colours. though i think all three colours would match in their own way =c)
great shot.

Can't remember if I've said so before but I love this shot. Inky velvet shadows, the soft glow of the clouds and a red light......
Will make a beautiful print.

The softness of all the elements present here contrast a lof with the chaotic way you captured those wires.
Stoping in the middle of chaos.
