"The most beautiful thing we can experience is
the mysterious. It is the source of all true art
and science. He to whom this emotion is
a stranger, who can no longer pause to
wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good
as dead: his eyes are closed."

I don't know what the elements are that create it (besides the title)
but I feel very high up here, along with the silhouetted figure .... and I have vertigo ! :-)
A wonderful job, Sharon.

good captured. nice title for the scenery. but i could not think about the photo like you think about this - in the words of albert einstein.
17 May 2010 6:40am
just love it Sharon, composition again is just perfect.
17 May 2010 7:08am
Oh, one of my fav at your place (again), Sharon : love those white striped by light windows and this thick black all around with the man ideally caught here. Seems like an initiation, ordeals & steps to cross. Love the story here, a deep & clever one (just like I picture you, my dear ;)
17 May 2010 7:11am
Brilliant. Perfect composition, as soon as with some light brush-strokes.
Warm greetings
17 May 2010 7:38am
Excellent B/W, superb composition, I like this silhouette black in full light!
17 May 2010 7:56am
Cool backlight composition with the shadow play!
17 May 2010 8:01am
I love this image. You seem to capture people trapped in shadows and patterns a lot. This is wonderful. There is a prison like quality to the scene. Great composition and lines.

Large amount of black space. It's cool, effective. Original presentation.
17 May 2010 11:23am

Fabulous capture. Dynamite quote; and so true.
17 May 2010 2:45pm
Excellent text and we Agree (with humility That if) Wonderful composition. A man imprisoned in the light ... and a mysterious environment perfect!
17 May 2010 2:58pm
Love the mood you've captured/created. Wonderful use of shadow and light!
17 May 2010 4:16pm
this image makes me feel so lonely.. great capture though.. :)

Wonderful image; it looks like he is in prison, with a beautiful view of the outside world he can never touch, and the world he does have is only lit by that unreachable outside.
17 May 2010 8:10pm
good eye for the perfect moment .. like the play with the shadow
17 May 2010 8:37pm
Superb work with the light here . . high drama for sure.
17 May 2010 10:02pm
That's so fascinating backlight capture! The silhouetted nicely makes the picture more creative!!! Mystery to its great extent, even!
17 May 2010 10:06pm
This is a very dramatic shot. Beautiful framing, and excellent use of silhouette. I like the balance between the two archways.
17 May 2010 11:42pm
... or the sniper?! Great drama in this shot. A lot of story comes in my head...:)
18 May 2010 12:40am
Stunning! I love that detail in the windows and the silhouette of the watcher.
18 May 2010 2:52am
Nice work Sharon. Lost touch with loads of people for a while.
18 May 2010 3:19am
Five stars...beautiful work so intense and flowing with "almost antagonistic" energy. Dark and fierce, but in an appealing way.
18 May 2010 6:40am
Nice black and white, it is very intense!
18 May 2010 7:53am
Great sense of movement in this pic. Feels quite playful for a B&W!
18 May 2010 9:32am
An awesome quote to go with this great image...and your eyes are certainly 'not closed...':)
18 May 2010 1:27pm

Fascinating capture of shadow and light. Full of spirit - really great!
18 May 2010 10:07pm
Great sense of being trapped in this darkness. Perfect framing, beautiful shot!
19 May 2010 12:22am
Fabulous quote from Albert Einstein. Amazing composition, always excellent use of light and shadows to create this mysterious mood. Stunning work!
19 May 2010 1:00am
I like the strong negative space in this against the openings to the light! I also like the angles of the light through the frame!
19 May 2010 1:48am
Very beautiful and a great atmosphere with this wonderful background
I really like your composition
19 May 2010 11:06am
WOW!!!

Great photo
19 May 2010 3:09pm
A mysterious beauty, Sharon. And your play with light & dark & shadows & contrasts blow my mind constantly. Free at last or caught in a trap. What an amazing photograph! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.
19 May 2010 6:57pm
Very interesting composition, great light shows. Bravo! Good day
19 May 2010 9:08pm
Excellent B&W. Creative eye with light giving only the silhouette. A 5 star image and more.
The quote is powerful, one to read often.
20 May 2010 2:24pm
Beautiful geometry - very strong image.
21 May 2010 1:16am
A picture with more questions than answers. I have to come back to it again, to see what I can find moore in it.
