Admire your capability to see lines and shapes. Do you visualize your images the way you process them? Or does the inspiration to interpret a scene this strike you after? Excellent seeing, nonetheless.

Excellent black & white beauty, Sharon. Looking back & going ahead ... alongside with Emily Dickinson quote this is a truly philosophical post. I could quote a hundred lyrics but I kust surrender to the pure beauty I found once more. Great composition! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

I smile at our connection through great clouds, today :) Bright ones... Love yours, the silhouettes of course - how they are drawn in the backlight - and above all this back of the magnificient Beast lying down so quietly in her black velvet panther-like attitude... Dreamy shot and nice quote to make the perfect duet again ~

High contrasted mono again which delivers a very powerful and dreamy image. They both look like two adventurers in an unknown world.

I love when you go into the mountains, between earth and sky. I love the feeling ob effort, facing the fall (this dark piece at left is wonderful in the composition)

Stephane Themeze from Maryland, United States
Good title there since they seem to be at the beginning of the climb, or is there someone down below them also? To see them up there? Cool.
In the meantime a cool graphic composition.

Many stories can be drawn from this striking image. Your timing is impeccable.
Coincidently, Hüsker Dü's Up in the Air was playing when I happen upon this.
