Shadows of fear

Allow me to repost what I consider my best photograph

Edit: Forget about the title, sorry!

Can you explain/elaborate on the title of the photo?

ditto, feels like a backwards time to fearmonger.

The title don't mean a thing, sorry! - I just had to come up with something.

I don't see my picture should spread fear!?
That's not how I see it and it's certainly not my intention by posting it.

The algae/flotsam in the water, right in the middle of the picture, is distracting.


Secondly if a woman with an empty bottle of water scares you, then grow some balls!

Jeicob, Maybe its my monitor, but I feel if you darkened the shadow and water then added a little contrast you could make the image more powerful. I like the geometry of the shot.

It's worse in color and I'm not going to do 'photoshop' on it.

Ehhh, I'm not scared

When I do that the bag disappears completely out of sight and glasses and sandals don't look as good. But I could do better I guess...

I find the title a little controversial in the current environment but I also believe that as a photographer you have the right to title an image as you see fit ... freedom of speech and all that!

Purely as a photograph ... I like it.

Jeicob,
Given the implied tension between the shadow and its owner, the title is interesting.
Perhaps you would like to explain your title and photograph further. I'm also interested in knowing why you feel it's your best photograph so far.

Cheers!

I like the Picture for being able to show 'two side of a coin' in one picture.

Being asked for further explanations, have been somewhat of an eye opener for me!
What is missing; an indication of my intentions, an indication of my personal views on the subeject, or something completely different?

I find the title a little controversial in the current environment ...

Well It's a controversial subject (but please note that the tittle were not chosen in order to attract attention or provoke anyone)!

Imagine a tittle like "Shadows of reality", now that would have been controversial! And then I could understand being 'accused' of being scared and spreading fear.
