    This is gorgeous Jared, I love the sense of movement!!! Great title!

    The light combined with the overwhelming sense of movement makes this a winner for me

  • Jared Revell replied

  • Stuart Chapman

    Stuart Chapman

    This is a real quality image Jared. The darkness compliments the lyrics a treat as does the lone branch which creates the most fabulous of water movements as the tide pulls the water from the coast back out into the sea towards the rich golden tones from the rising sun.

  • Jared Revell replied

    thanks so much Stuart, as always I love your interpretation and descriptive notes.
    Really like how you see the darkness complimenting the lyrics and also the water movement created by the branch.
    :-))

    My favourite time lapse water shot that I’ve seen so far! Love it Jared, and it certainly depicts the word desperation. The water seems to be really tugging at that branch, while it holds on tightly!

  • Jared Revell replied

    hey Jane,
    thank you so much, and for the fav ~ i’m really glad that you love it !!
    ...very happy that you can feel the desperation in it too :-))

    Bravo Jared! Such a wonderful image! Gosh you do these scenes well!

    thanks so much Magee :-))

  • PERUGINA

    PERUGINA

    This image is beautiful Jared.

    Nature providing you with the ingredients for this recipe.

    This one sings… love the movement and flow of the water which of course you have captured with perfection using your technical knowledge and ability as a photographer.

    The strong water element mirroring that sweeping clouded sky… the angle you set up with the partially submerged ‘desperate’ driftwood helping to create a visual focal point leading you to and reaching up to the ‘luce’ light which perhaps is or offers ‘salvation.”
    Congratulations!

  • Jared Revell replied

    thank you so much Patricia :-))
    Wow ~ I absolutely love your detailed interpretations ~ i learn so much from you. And I love how you can see that in this photo and how it connects to the desperate theme…

  • Louise Cooke

    Louise Cooke

    like this series Jared! Yes, definitely desperation here with the branch just clinging there with the water rushing past – beautiful!

  • Jared Revell replied

    thanks so much Louise ~ really glad you like the series :-)

  • Rosemaree

    Rosemaree

    My sister thinks Im weird that I can “feel” or “hear” things in photographs. I love it when they speak to me and I am able to feel a connection with the image. Keep em coming Jared they are great

  • Jared Revell replied

    ....you’re not weird at all Rosemaree ! Maybe you need to show her a few photos and tell her how and why they connect to you and show her what you see, she might then see things in a new light…
    ...one more to come in this series..
    thanks Rosemaree :-)

    “We never say so much as when we do not quite know what we want to say. We need few words when we have something to say, but all the words in all the dictionaries will not suffice when we have nothing to say and want desperately to say it. “

    Eric Hoffer
    1902-1983, American Author,

    =====================================

    I could stand still at the flow point of all this beauty and dazzling energy desperate to touch its depths and explore its beauty!
