This week, the Daily Post weekly photo challenge is “free spirit”. The guest host this week is Strauss Louw:
Free Spirit. I chose this as the topic for this week’s photo challenge as it lends itself to so many possibilities for subject matter and composition. I work exclusively with film and believe this element is quite important concerning a theme such as the free spirit, as it allows for more experimentation and creative exploration due to how film reacts differently to light than a digital sensor would. To capture this idea of the free spirit, I would suggest breaking some rules.
I’m not certain my interpretation of the theme is the same as his, but it is, nonetheless, an interpretation and I’m going with it!

Carol, this is a breathtaking photo! The contrast, the color, the composition, but most of all, the FEELING!

I understand what you mean about having a different interpretation of “Free Spirit” Carol. I immediately thought of a being too, rather than light reaction, which is what Strauss Louw seems to be saying. I love your photo, and think your interprtation is wonderful! 🙂

Good job, Carol. I like the way you put the perspective point off to the side and high up. It really draws attention from all directions to the subject.

Thank you, Allan. I wanted the reflection in the mirror to the left – which probably means it was a happy accident.
