this is part of a theme that i am working on titled "release me". some of them are going to print to be displayed at an upcoming event. i am not sure which or how many but i am already quite fond of this one. i had two original visions for the theme and this particular photo fits into one of those.

i will share more as i process them.

listening to: damien rice - cannonball

update: i processed a color version per scott's request. here you go my friend.

• Neat image. It has a great feel to it. I feel bad for the doll hanging there, but hey, its for the art!

• Fabulous :) I love that she has no head, and the poor toy hanging there.
  Can't wait to here more about the series.

• really, really nice one mike - if you have a spare moment, i'd really like to see what this looks like in color, but very desaturated...

• Really behind on about 200 comments :) Had a look through all your shots from being away... some lovely portraits and abstracts.
  
  There is a nice unique style to this shot, love it.

• Both versions are great, but the B&W has the edge for me. Great composition and start to the series.
