Have you ever met a person whose eyes tell a beautiful story, once you've looked deeply into them? A person for whom you could immediately tell that their kind spirit does not belong to this harsh world? While I was walking in the city on today's sunny New Year's morning, I found this afterfeather hanging on an old building's wall. It made me think of people whose inner beauty affects everyone around them. The ones who never leave anyone indifferent.
The 'artistic' approach used to build this wall immediately caught my eye, therefore I took advantage of the strong sidelight coming from the right side to create the strong plasticity in the chiaroscuro style. The limited choice of colours, the very light green toward the sides and the light coral area in the middle, works very well with the overall tonality and supports the general idea. The whiteness of the main element pushes the feather forward and suggests its uniqueness. Even the colour of the wall, under the feather, is lighter than anywhere else.
The soft, fluffy, gentle afterfeather is juxtaposed to the rough wall's structure. It is a metaphor, a kind soul surrounded by the harsh world. The long shadow which the feater is casting across the entire frame is just like when a kind charismatic person spills its inner beauty over other people, gently and unobtruAsively. The feather found its place in the wall's world, even though it doesn't belong there. It has a nice and protected spot in this photograph, one that each kind person deserves.
In January we usually have snow, slush and grey skies in Zagreb. This winter is a warm one. Some scientists say that the global warming is on and quickly approaching, others say that Europe will become cold because of the changing climate's influence on the major ocean currents. Before that happens, I feel very thankful for having several hours of the sun on my face on a winter day.
Did that feather just move? :D
Enjoy! :)
