Jo O'Brien, 9 months ago

We’ll never tell! Mwah ha ha!
We were out walking and saw what looked like an office was a smashed in glass door. Jess said “shall we go in?” I said “Yep” and the rest is history

Stephen Mitchell, 9 months ago

Creepers on Lino’ ... Not something we see everyday. Great find, great idea.

Nice shot.. a derelict building exposed to the elements ?

Graham Dean, 9 months ago

This happened to me once, but even if I could turn it into art now I wouldn’t find such racey perspective, a full length feature of drama and such surreal beauty as this.

Deborah Bowness, 9 months ago

Awsome image as usual Jo! The title works really well with this photo!

kookylane, 9 months ago

TheFatman, 9 months ago

I really connect with this one Jo….In most of us we feel cornered and that things in life sometimes surrounds and smuthers our exsistance….if we only realised that these things aren’t that bad and that we can cut through them and easily Escape

Ethical reasons! Maybe aesthetic reasons…Ansel Adams does not belong in jail…

cdwork, 9 months ago

Excellent work!

Coralie Casey, 9 months ago

Very cool work. It’s as if she’s reaching in a life or death situation, but all that we can see are the leaves so the imagination runs wild.

Claire McAdams, 9 months ago

banditart, 9 months ago

Paul Vanzella, 9 months ago

Well Jo – you just keep going don’t you… this is so wonderful, yes, no editing required… amazing raw image… colours, pose and the way you’ve used the space is perfect… love the way leaves and twigs provide the design element that just makes the shot. Also love the warm tones…. Stunning work!!! You two girls are inspiring!

“Leaves” me speechless…..............

A Day in The L..., 9 months ago

wow this is such an amazing shot, she looks stuck, or like she is trying to reach for something in thoses leaves

bonniemonahan1, 9 months ago

Hi Jo,
I wish Redbubble had people write a story about their photo: (Camera, speed, length, etc.)
Terrific photo with fine details, good composition, brightness & color, color harmony, DOF, etc.
To me it has great inner emotions that she is reaching out for something besides help.
Take care, Bonnie

mugshot, 9 months ago

Great theme. Hard to tell who’s escaping the plant life or the women.

Enrico Bettesw..., 9 months ago

Great dynamic image… love the colors too…

Natalie Manuel, 9 months ago

This is really gorgeous.

Kristy Lee, 9 months ago

yup..this is beautifully alive…really lovely shot Jo.

Bill Proctor, 9 months ago

Inspirational work as always….!

Elaine van Dyk, 9 months ago

I love this work, Jo! Apart from it’s great composition and photographic qualities, it has a visual strange effect on me. When I look at it for a while it starts to look like the top right corner of the image is lifting, and it feels like the figure might start to slide down towards the leaves in the left bottom corner – it creates a lovely sort of tension or insecurity. The more I look at it the more I’m drawn to it.

Elaine van Dyk, 9 months ago

Oops, what I meant to say is that “it has a strange visual effect on me…....”

Lee Burgess, 9 months ago

This is so much like a painting… beautiful!!

Darryl A, 9 months ago

Hey, I like this one! Lovely composition and cropping.

ozczecho, 9 months ago

Great shot…beautiful tones…and love how the model is impersonating the sprawling vines (sp?)..love it…

nick board, 9 months ago

Beautifully executed composition, it could be interpreted so many ways, I understand why you love it, completely.

KFrancis, 9 months ago

Really like this photo. The branches (think there branches) blend in quite well in this photo and give the photo another dimension.

BonitoPhotography, 9 months ago

Gorgeous Work!

Carl Osbourn, 9 months ago

brilliant – love the leaves scattered around on the groud – adds to an already awesome effect :)

velveteagle, 9 months ago

lucia, 9 months ago

absolutely love this one!!!

shawhouse, 9 months ago

great tones and composition. dramatic, stunning work.

HenkStolk, 9 months ago

Masterpiece, that’s what it is… great DOF, scenery, colors. Maybe a shame the left part is so dark, but the shot needs it for the story. Because of wide angle lens?

Gracey, 8 months ago

Don’t blame you for not editing this. It’s really quite unique on it’s own and has a very emotional impact.

NervousNellie, 8 months ago

Great shot.

Geoff Coleman, 8 months ago

Lovely image this – I really like the way you’ve composed it with her outstretched arms running as a counterpoint to the tendrils of the ivy. and the complimentary reds of her hair and the leaves.

Rudschinat, 8 months ago

love this shot, so dramatic
:)Gorm

Naomi Frost, 8 months ago

When the RAW shot is this good….why change it!!!

WMHaywood, 8 months ago

Lachlan Kent, 8 months ago

This works so perfectly… wonderful sense of expression and emotion… and the warm light is fantastic!

pmistric, 8 months ago

Nice image. I love the warmth tones.

David Barnes, 8 months ago

Totally one of the best shots on redbubble! Composition is immaculate, posing / direction is just cracking, the spread fingers and clawing arms mirror the vine / streaks on the floor, as if the model is climing / clawing her way across / up. Such a story. Wow. I want to fave it more than once!

Saki, 8 months ago

Jo thanks for visiting my photo stream. Love your photos they stir lots of emotion.

WanderingSoulArt, 8 months ago

Oh really beautiful shot! i love the perspective and angle!

zeebuzz, 7 months ago

Reminds me of Andrew Wyeth’s painting “Christina’s World.” Nicely done.

Melissa Carroll, 7 months ago

Alright, so i feel a bit of a nerd.
But i really like this
It reminds me of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and how Cedric was getting grabbed by the veins of the branches. And tried to escape..
But this is so much prettier though,
it just reminded me of it haha.

Stephen Forbes, 7 months ago

An instant favourite. This is awesome. The imagery is so dark and tense. Beautiful colours and composure. I would love to get a hold of a copy of this to play with in CS3…..... brilliant

Silvia Ganora, 7 months ago

franzi, 5 months ago

very impressive work, i love the warm colours

Michael Gatch, 5 months ago

you have some very different stuff. morbid maybe in a sense it seems, but i think it’s all very interesting, and I can see why this one would be your favorite. Working with models seems like a lot of fun. I’ve been wanting to do that for awhile now. abandoned buildings can only show you so amny poses and they don’t listen too terribly well to directions.

Tony Elliott, 5 months ago

No need to edit perfection. Nightmares and desperation.

Genius.

beauty, 5 months ago

Amazingly beautiful!

Larasolnishko, 5 months ago

The next immage try to turn her around and call picture “The Ivy girl”. She will represent nature and become one of that strings which climbing up to the sky. make a serial of immages, it will be really good staff.

meegs9, 5 months ago

Fantastic image. Outstanding composition!

Craig Dick, 5 months ago

very nice

Terri Rose, 4 months ago

Amazing image.

SparrowSalvage, 4 months ago

It’s gorgeous! I somehow get the feeling that she’s reaching out to hold onto the vines. Sort of seeking out the last scratches of nature in a man-made world.

Jo O'Brien, 4 months ago

I’m so glad that you see it that way. For some time I struggled with titling the work, throwing up between ‘escape’ and ‘embrace.’ You see her, running from and running to at the same time. And the underlying themes about the natural and man-made world, the constructed and the nurtured. It is this tension and ambiguity which I love so much. Thank you for taking a moment to view it.

Azzurra, 4 months ago

i love these powerful works you have!!! awesOme! xoxo

Anette Tyler, 4 months ago

jaycee, 4 months ago

mindylynn, 3 months ago

another beautiful shot! i’m jealous… your models are willing to pose, let you manipulate them and spread fake blood, or let you tie them up, and then wow, an amazing photo.

Carlos Teófilo, 3 months ago

So sensual.

Elizabeth Duncan, 3 months ago

Wow lovely shot. It looks like she is trying to hold on to something just beyond her reach.

There are times I can definitely relate… This piece reminds me of a painting I once saw. I love the tones, the emotion this has is fantastic, great composition as well. Well done.

Persimmon, about 1 month ago

this is a great composition, she is creeping towards the leaves and the creepers are creeping towards her. Lovely gradation of colour and that cream dress is perfect on those tiles

jemimalovesbigted, 26 days ago

Ahhh no fair! Yours will win the popularity contest EVERY time! Gorgeous shot by the way.
