Description The idea I had here was to express the passion of a love affair... guess I'll leave it at that.

I find the simplicity of this photo really compelling. Its elegance reminds me that I don't have to travel to far away places to take great photos.

The dainty vine seems to take on the " appearance" of delicate arms wrapping around the wooden post; it physically uses the post as support, but the picture can also be addressing relationships that hinge on one being the "stable rock' and of the other being a seeker for emotional support.

Beautiful tones, great composition, nice placement of the leaves in the frame, it moves your eye over every piece of the pole. The shot makes me think of isolation on the edge of death. The vine is the one natural piece in the photo being dominated by the industrial pole, while at the same time using and over taking the pole, but waiting for the industrial hedge trimmers to end its life.

wonderfully conceived,
metaphorically magnificent....
i esp. like the leaf's contrast against the darker pole,
and the clean b&w focus,
etc

*simple and effective*

I love this picture, great expressive meaning to this shot, we have to wrap ourselves around something stronger for support, thats what love is about. The black and white works realy well with this shot, and the perspective couldnt be any more perfect, you managed to capture leaves in appropriate spots, the texture in the leaves is just wonderfull and excellent touch with the blurring of the background. Realy well done.

Nice concept of the vine wraping itself around the pole, like one does to another loved one. This looks awesome in black and white. Nice shot.

ohh, the concept is lovely... such mutual trust.

a "symbiotic" relationship in the... well, not flesh...

but it sure seems like it could be.

Aw, this is a very sweet and yet sad picture, it looks as though the vine is clinging to dear life to the pole, and yet maybe the vine has to leave, and it doesn't want to. Two very different subjects you've photographed here and yet they balance each other out.

I have to say that I've been looking at this photo for the last three days. Isn't it great when something so simplistic can have such meaning.

Adore how expressive this is. This does really have a feel of a love affair Hard to express how much I like this photo. Greatly done, black and white was a good choice too, very classy.

bookdiva [2003-06-14 01:45:45 +0000 UTC]

Very expressive, indeed! I love the tones and light, nice flow, the vine both clinging and trailing.

Nice texture capture, too, and I like the blur of the background adding drama and focus to the foreground.

Yes, a love affair, for certain, both with the composition and the photograph...beautiful creativity.

Art art, my friend that is hot!!

an affair to remember,
memories,
that always keep me warm.
her soft hands,
her sensual voice.
Her erotic nature,
the smile as she walks through the door.
Its intertwined for 7 days,
flowers spread carelessly across the floor,
its breakfast in bed,
and much much more.

Great shot and idea, definately a

B&w at times manages to portray a msg much better the with colour.... colour makes us focus elsewhere... while here the leaves... and entanglement of the "ivy", or whatever it is, to the trunk, matches exactly to your description... the entanglement of a couple when they are bound in love.. great concept...
