Description
The Parallel Worlds

Nature's mirrors suddenly collapse into plausible feasts of wonder, as question marks arrive behind our heads. Life expectancy has been increased beyond our limits, haunting us with the chance to waste The Time and reflect on life itself, spending vital cell energy with the enigmas of reflecting about reflexions.

Note: I find it fascinating to discover the multitude of ways one can approach a photography. As you might imagine, the original photo is a 4:3 ratio one, with lots of available sky and river. My main concern here was to put the fisher on the left third of the photo, so I got an image which I could use in panoramic, portrait or simple landscape mode. I could also choose to leave more sky, leave more of the river, or even cut a bit on the right. Sometimes I almost burn my neurons trying to see which one I like the best, specially when the heart likes a lot of versions. Then, as if it wasn't enough, while I was trying to get a gold cast for this image, I accidentally opened the grad filter menu, and suddenly I saw this orange sky, and imediatly thought "whoooa, I like this... a bit far from real light, but I like this". So there I was with one more tough decision - "leave the grad filter or not?". Well, you already know... I kept it. In the near future I'll probably post one or two more versions of this photo, but it is always amazing how cropping or editing a photo can change its underlying feelings and emotions.
