Photo Observation #8

http://www.APersonalTao.com

Theme: Surreal

This is a photograph of a women in front of a sunset making some sort of gesture. Even though this picture lives in a realistic environment, the way the woman’s body is lit from the back looks unnatural. We can see all the edges and curves, but we cant see any detail on the surface because the light comes only from the back. The peach over whelms the land and dictates what is seen or not seen. An image like this reminds me of a intense dream where you follow a mysterious figure through a unrecognizable world.
