 anarchy : a state of lawlessness and disorder

[excuse my english, i'll do my best]

there was a bird.

let's start from the beginning ... people for centuries choose wrong kind of people to lead them, to educate them, to simply show them the way ... the mistake is more than simple. it's big as universe.

one day people will see that big changes are necessary, and of course just few of them will actually try to do something ... one day anarchy will come and you will not be responsible to anyone or anything.

you probably will not survive it. actually.

all you will see is a little bird waiting for you to end when roaring thunders come from behind you.

[the end]

disclaimer: i'm totally apolitical and this is just a made up story to go with the photo :-)

this is superb, the darks and lights, the stunning gold colour. the harsh angles and flat areas of shadow. and of course the bird and the anarchy. the strict regimen of the structure reinforces the concept of conformity, while the tiny bird and faint anarchy symbol are the just the right amount of corrupting influence. a lovely image that can be read on many levels.

cannot really imagine the story behind this (probably there is none). like the composition and colors, though. good contrast; a tad oversharpened.

I love the lines in this picture. The shapes are great, and the bird looks just right (although a little bigger would have been better, but I know thats out ofyour hands). However, the story is just not quite there for me.

The grain works really well here.

I really, really like the simplicity and minimalistic nature of this shot. It is quite "graphic" feeling and leaves the viewer feeling almost overwhelmed.

really interesting and well spotted.

I think I would rather have seen more of the grafitti - but there is certainly enough to know what you are looking at.

Beautiful image... I'm not sure it fully conveys a story... but I could see how it could. 9 for the image itself - 7 for the story telling ability - 8 overall.
