Description When everybody left you, you feel lonely to the roots...

(I'm very sure this idea isn't very original, but I still like it, even though I'm overfed by dandelion shots. But I still prefer the other one. [link] )

Submission for the May '05 Emotive Macro Challange over at *macrophoto .

Update 2005-05-31: Made the 3rd place in the Emotive challange . Thanks to everyone who voted .

Edit 2005-08-08: Reuploaded the image, because I like this framing better. (And it matches the print this way .)

Glad you like it .
But I'd say the comparsion depends on who you're having sex with .

Well, I have a gigantic, enormous sized... ego . (Among other things.)

I like the idea, however what's with the background? Manipulated? I feel it not needed when you have such a beautiful photograph in the first place.

Hell, that's just my opinion.

foeo In reply to Obliged [2006-07-06 20:11:48 +0000 UTC]

No, the background is, as it came out of the cam. It's called depth of focus/field .

Great meaning and photo... dandelions are prevalent but still, they're the sort of thing that just has to be done...

foeo In reply to syrus [2006-06-10 19:15:23 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, they are a bit overdone. That's why I actually prefer the other dandelion shot . It's different and not so clichee.

Yeah, I did check that one out, and though I commend you for it's originality it didn't do as much for me as this one.

I don't think it should be called "loneliness" it should be called "the ballerina" or "the ballet"

I love this picture and faved it because it reminds me not of loneliness but a ballerina in a ballet. The dance is about anticipation for a new adventure and a new life...this little seed is waiting for the wind to take it on an adventure, the end of which will be life as a flower and this is pretty awesom...so I don't see any loneliness, just anticipation and adventure...this seed will float on the wind gracefully like a lovely ballerina...

foeo In reply to pseudomania [2005-10-11 22:18:29 +0000 UTC]

Hmm... I don't see the ballerina... but I can grasp where that comes from. An inspiring idea, maybe next spring/summer I try to make one that is obviously a ballet. Thanks .

pseudomania In reply to foeo [2005-10-11 23:07:31 +0000 UTC]

okay i'll explain more

the top white part is the skirt

and if you go to the actual seed, it resembles one ballerina foot on tip toe...

foeo In reply to pseudomania [2005-10-11 23:26:05 +0000 UTC]

Yes, as I said, I can grasp where that comes from. It's just I don't see it in this photo. Or that the Loneliness part is showing stronger to me. But I already figured a way to show the ballerina next time. Just needs a lower angle and a closer crop.
It's very inspiring to hear how others see images, I like that, thanks again .
