Description For =digital-amphetamine 's Dancing in the rain Contest.

When I first started it I knew how it should look like but I knew nothing about its concept. I had only the feeling of the atmosphere. I'm saying 'only' like it's not enough to create something but it is for me... Anyway, now I have the story and I'll try to explain it to you. It's about a conflict between two sides. You can see the two staircases and two different-coloured dramatic lightings seperated by still water - a pond. They're going on different ways and both girls are looking back but not at each other, as they are not shure if they made the right choice to seperate. The water symbolizes something calm, ordinary that seems harmless but it managed to divide two friends. All that happens in the rain, between the mist in the dark night and all these details exalt the dramatic effect of seperation.

Hope you manage to feel the atmosphere. Tell me if you have another interpretation of the picture, I'll be more than glad to hear it.
