POTW 26-3-2013

Postby Matt. K on Tue Mar 26, 2013 5:00 pm

I’ve chosen this image by Zafra because it is whimsical and a little bizarre. There is a lightness about it that I find curiously appealing. The image is trippy…it draws you in. There is movement that drags you along with it…..it has design elements and graphics and a touch of the surreal. And it has a wonderful sense of deep perspective, the human figure being almost unreachable, as if in the bottom of a bottle. An easy pick for me.

I totally agree that this pic is extraordinarily superb. It should hang in a gallery.

Yes, a wonderful shot, well executed, but importantly, well spotted.

A worthy choice and one of the best images I've seen this year. Congrats Zafra.
