I've returned to these pictures to reconsider them. I'm not entirely sure it's even appropriate to comment on images that represent dreams to another person (and I find the challenge itself extra chellanging), but I find my eye roving over the silver cup in the grass and thinking a lot about "holy grail" and Arthurian legend, probably because I just started watching Merlin.
I feel like one of the reasons there isn't a great deal of commenting in this community is that it's a bit daunting to comment on someone else's art--there's always the fear of missing the point. I'd love it if people felt freer to give their impressions of a photo of mine, or the ideas it generates in their mind, but perhaps others feel differently.
I'd love it if there were more commenting here. Do you think there is a way to encourage such? Would construction criticism be welcome or not? (Probably that varies by individual member).
"Dreams" is indeed a challenge-- I was trying to do something 'conceptual and weird' with the first shot, and something more simple with the second. I like the idea of putting words with photographs, maybe building a narrative into a photo. In the second photo, the dream-narrative is, you're walking along and suddenly you find the holy grail. Or maybe just a silver cup. What happens next? :)
