Description
beforethe waking hour
in the clouds
at dawn
somewhere between
skeleton
and prison,
truth stands
on 4 legs
in black and white sunrise.
__________
This is a neutral color remix of an earlier deviation I did. [link]
I wanted to offer it as a print, but had not saved a .psd of the original version. So, instead I tweaked it a bit to my liking. So....behold the zebra....neutralized!

Disturbing and beautiful.
More truth in poetry than in the news, sometimes.

Thank you, dear.
I guess this piece is subject to interpretation. I'm definitely open to it.
What do you see?

The zebra seems to be dissolving in clouds (of ignorance).

This tone is much better than the other Moses. I like it more on this. Nice effect. You use blur?

Back in the 1800's they would have achieved this effect by smearing vaseline on the lens. These days, if you are anywhere near an animal with a tub of vaseline, you'll be arrested.
Great picture and great finish.

As it should be, family.

Ethereal and soulful photorendition of a majestic animal. The fading image reminds us of so many endangered animals becoming extinct due to man's disregard for so many precious and amazing species.

It's a pleasure and an honor. I've wanted to promote you in my journal for a long time. The thing is, Denis, I feel as if I don't know what exactly to say. If there's anything as far as text and description that I left out that you'd like me to edit into that feature, let me know.
