'Falling or Not?'

The city is white, covered in snow. It's cold but beautiful at the same time. People hurry from one place to another and don't look around. I do. Walking through a park, I found this umbrella. It had to be lost, probably flew away with the wind and stopped at a bush. Then, the snow fell over it. Who knows how long it has been stuck like this before I came and recognized the beauty in it. It made me think of how being stuck doesn't have to be bad, necessarily.

The composition is central and closed. It's almost completely stylized in black and white. The breath of blue is adding relatively cold feeling. What is interesting is the artificial pattern of the umbrella juxtaposed against natural forms of snow covered leaves. The concrete ground under the scene anchors the image in reality. It would be hard to argue if the scene is real or not if it wasn't there. I find it good because it underlines the authenticity of the scene.

The snow circle at the umbrella's top is interesting. The circle is hanging at the bottom side of the umbrella's top. It takes the very central spot of the image. When we think about it - it shouldn't be there at all. We expect it to fall off anytime but it is not happening because it is frozen. I almost wish to see it fall down.

Magic can happen, even if you're stuck. ;-)

Enjoy!
