Hissing wires

Minimalistic symbol of hope for those without it ...

6 Comments

I really like this Marius. Compositionally pleasing, nice tones and a pertinent meaning.

My only suggestion I can give is a thought of trying with a bluish, perhaps stormy background to help strengthen the symbol of despair. (In that case I'd keep both).

I agree largely with Alan here. The photo itself is very well done, but I disagree about the bluish idea. The very warm colors for me shows an idea of hope and joy. Almost moving forward, such as symbolized through a sunrise or sunset. Since you mentioned hope for the hopeless as your motivation, I feel the yellows and oranges fit it best.

Just to be clear Chloe, I am not suggesting that this image be replaced, but that a second image could be created that reflects not hope but the despair that many felt as the power went out.
I do agree that the existing image offers a more symbolic, new dawn.

My apologies Alan. I misunderstood your original post. That’s my fault.

thank you all for the comments ... some background .. this was taken with windchill to -27C on a sunrise ... whilst thinking of my friends in Texas and thought to dedicate it to them and also much broader to all that needs some hope, warmth and "power"
