Daily Deviation

Given 2011-05-20
l'art de vivre by *unkreatives
The suggester says, "A wonderful and well done HDR work with great details, tones and scene."
It reminds me of the eeriness of the Ballroom at The Haunted Mansion in the Disney Parks! ( Suggested by ~MayaVogrin and Featured by `WDWParksGal )
:iconchalice-divine:
For a piece to move me there are a number of elements that must be present.

Texture, light and shadow, ambiance, story, detail and perspective all play a critical part of the pieces that I find move me.

This marvelous still life is just such a piece for me.

The advancing decay, coupled with new objects, the carefully positioned splashes of crimson, indicative of the afterlife suggest the cusp of mortaility.

The juxtaposition of light, shadow, texture, and the careful arrangement of all the arranged objects, coupled with the slightly surreal angle of the perspective lead to a delightful in-depth consideration of the work.

The carvings, fabrics, and distressed woods of the flooring and main table that fortell the eventual fate of the sleek polished side boards and tables instruct with velvet whispers the profound mixture of new life and the old.

The skilled spectrum of filtered focus techniques, emphasizing the soft blur of the distressed flooring and the main table parallel the sharp definition of gently illuminated arrangements of unspoiled table dressings complete the touch of mastery.

It whispers an ache, and beckons a story which is told with consummate style and artistry.

I find it to be one of those rare pieces that if possessed, would continue to draw the eye and imagination into a life long consideration of what that story could be, while holding forth the basic wheel of life that unfolds inexorably for every living being. It is the Pheonix, and the turning of the great wheel.

Thank you for this remarkable and lovely sharing!

Lovely! it's hard to find some good shots of interiors of chateaux as so many people are drawn to the outside alone. looks well-preserved!
