Strength

Thanks Shannyn. This is actually my favourite of those here. I’m loving what people get from some of my shots – never had feedback before. My intent was to evoke loss, longing or vulnurability. Cheers.

Very strong Robert. Great feeling to this.

Wonderful image.. Strength, symmetry and entrapment. Perfectly realized.

Wonderful. Well captured. Love the way the lines in the wall are off centre, pulls everything together.

Thanks Adrien, Brett and Amanda. Have to say the positive feedback and affirmation here is far better than random dummy spits – if you know what I mean. So cheers :)

This is wonderful, it’s like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders…lovely lighting and textures too.

i love the texture on the wall and the guys t-shirt against it…

how heavy is the world :(

Love the rough texture of the walls.
(I followed the link in “textures” on The Age)
So many stories are untold here.

Great shoot Robert.
I welcome your wide range of style in photography.

Caged… the outcome of when perfection faces imperfection. the perfect symmetry of the man’s form clashes, yet tones into the scarred wall. A man divinely created in a perfected image is being restricted in an imperfect world (“living queer in Adelaide”).

The shot says it all – yes, I love the framing of the image and the underlying texture through it, love the wall and skin tone. Great shot!

This has such a wonderful sentiment. Reminds me of the sacrifice of love and devotion.

Very soft allaround warm colurs almost a photografic version af a Picasso painting.Lovely

the yellow bleached colour is so lovely. you have a great eye.

I love the contrast of the smooth skin against the textured wall. It is so sensitively composted. Just Beautiful!

Hi Robert. Very cool image and imagery.

The decisive moment, really nice.

Excellent visual impact, great lighting and composition.

Poweful image. Lovely textures and colour tones!

Beautiful image, lots of emotion – really quite powerful!

I agree totally with WitheringMoon, lots of emotion….& extraordinarily powerful…

silent and emotional !

I like this piece very much. I like the tone and texture of the wall. If you hadn’t told us it was in a cafe., I would have thought he might be praying (but whose to say you can’t pray in a cafe). Very deep emotionally. Wonderful job.

this looks like a great mood you were in.
see you in oct .

Great image Robert, looks like the weight of the world is pushing down.

This is very strong and emotive!

Awesome!! So many emotions in one shot!

A beautiful, strong image indeed. The title has such a huge importance here, I think. The symmetry is so precise too… well done!

So touching,love the neutral tones.

Innovative color applied to a solid composition. Good job.

Really beautiful- on an aesthetic level as well as a pychic one. We can all relate to this. Excellent title by the way.

Gee thanks everyone for your comments, feedback and for being inspired by this. Its such a hoot when one of your favourite shots gets this kind of attention. Bless you’s.

I love the symmetry and the introspective here. Fantastic shot.

I love the symmetry and, likewise, the asymmetry. Lovely work.

This is a brilliant image. Love the processing and the textures too.

Stunning image!

strong yet incredibly weak. I love it.

very powerful – and very well chosen coloring

feel the mood !
amazing point of view and the pose !

nothing i say can do justice to this brilliant shot. i am so into this.

so very sad and brilliantly captured

such captures speak of the one behind the camera., a keen and searching mind, probably compassionate. unfortunately, they are rarely appreciated due to lack of multi-bright-color pathos and superficial “beaty”.

Thanks everyone and thanks SNik – well seen ;)

Emotionally charged, yet calm and serene

love this…the shroud of cloth and flesh against stone

You feel the despair and lonliness here. Great idea and beautiful tones that suit the atmosphere perfectly. Nice Robert.

A very moving image. Nicely done.

has to be a fave

Emotional shot. Great Work!

really fine piece of artwork

thanks for this series/insightful and so very interesting

Very evocative, but the title puzzles me. I, too, felt despair.

good shot.
hello from adelaide too !

Thanks everyone. Very cool to have this on the ‘Featured’ page. Bluerabbit the title I chose as a contradition to people’s perception. I like to create potential alternative realities and interpretations in my work and the title was a pathway to unveiling these alternatives.

This is about the strength to face it, the power to continue, the resilience not to go under…and also the strength to see…the strength simply to be…The wall also has an innate power – sometimes a power than is projected onto it. But it is just a man made wall after all and can be ‘unmade’ .)

Hello MuscularTeeth :)

A very emotive image, stunning use of colour and texture.

such a powerful sense of loss in this photo. I love that you called it strength… we are never stronger than when we shoulder an unbearable weight…
