Karrah! on Flickr.
I definitely re-edited this tonight. I had no idea what I was doing before, and I feel waaaay more pleased with it now.
Some people have asked, so here’s birdchild in color!
reflections on Flickr.
(So let me go back and explain, thought be warned, it may make absolutely zero sense.) I kind of imagined this in my head as the part of me that is out of the water being the ‘surface of our thoughts,’ those thoughts that come first, priority thoughts I guess? I dunno. Basically, this character is slowly making their way out of the water, aimed on something, getting somewhere/getting something, etc. And she isn’t quite worried about any of the consequences that could possibly come from doing so.
NOW, the reflection is supposed to be portraying all the thoughts that rest in the back of our minds. That tugging feeling in your gut when you know something is going to go wrong, that most tend to ignore, or the thoughts that DO consider the consequences in any situation. SO, this ‘character’ I guess, is portraying just that, the worried, what’s-gonna-happen thoughts. Hence the hand over the face and the semi-stressed pose. (Which, I know it’s hard to tell any of that is even going on because it iiisss a reflection.)
The reason I wanted the reflection to portray this is:
1. The reflection is under the person, under the ‘surface thoughts.’
2. Because as soon as the ‘character’ coming out of the water finally makes her way out of the water, that reflection won’t be there anymore. (As soon as I get close to what I want or whatever, I tend to not even think about anything else.)
Now I know that this isn’t always the case for everyone, some people analyze the consequences first in any situation. But not me, I tend to jump right into everything I do, with one decided way to do it, without really thinking about the problems or anything that could come up. It’s not even just always consequences of actions either, it can be hitches in a plan, ways that something won’t work, etc. Stuff that I tend to shove to the back of my skull in hopes that I won’t ever have to face it or worry about it. And that’s why this image is important to me.
Soo, I hope this has helped this image become more than just a pretty picture.
