Poetic Photography

Birth of the queen

„ ...Die Weise, die ich nimmer fand,
Hört' ich ihn kräftig geigen.
O gib die Geige von der Wand!
Jetzt ist der Klang mein eigen."

Der Knabe reicht die Geige dar,
Der Alte spielt die Weise,
Der Knabe horcht, - es klingt so klar,
So wunderstark und leise.

Die alte Hand ermattet nicht,
Stets schallt es voller tönend,
Dem Aug' entströmt ein selig Licht,
Das alte Haupt verschönend... “

               Friedrich von Sallet  "Der Geiger"

Very interesting photo! You've sure found the perfect angle! This photo tells a story... I would even say it's poetic, phoetic! ;) I was wondering if you would be interested in being represented in the artscollection onexposure.net? It's a collection of selected highest possible quality photography, with some of the most famous photographers of the web as well as many skilled amatures. If you contribute with a few photographs we will post a link to your site meaning many new visitors! We can chose a few photos from your site and publish them if you don't have the time, so you don't have to do anything. At least give it a quick check out!

Прямо Сальвадор Дали какой-то! Ральф прав -- тут целая история рассказана, в этой фотографии...
