  • This shot is taken in the north of Rwanda near the DR Congo border. It showcases the absurd beauty of this broken land. Known as the land of one thousand hills Rwanda is bursting at the seams. This shots is part of the ‘world’s most expensive card’ promotion initiated by John Robb. It has raised close to $700 AUD so far.

  • This was shot in an amazing house, it was caught in a time capsule….the property was recently sold and the furniture sold off too, this shoot is all that remains. I wanted to look back, not through the rose coloured glasses we usually gaze back with, but to look at the tension that lies just below the surface. The 50’s and early 60’s have this all to perfect image, surface image that is…

  • D.C. Protest I
    by Christopher Barker

    US$3.99–US$91.20

    During a relatively peaceful 2002 protest against the World Bank in Washington, D.C., anti-war demonstrators began to change the situational climate of the march. Tensions between protesters and police, who were expecting a violent demonstration, began to rise. Police began to arrest everyone that they managed to surround inside Pershing Park, guilty, as well as innocent bystanders alike. In relative anticipation of the police’s reaction, this young man wrote the telephone numbers of civil defense lawyers on his arms before the demonstrations even began.

  • This shot is one of my favourites because it tells such a story. In the forground is a wallet being held by one of my colleagues Bart. He is buying the basket being held by the Rwandan woman in the middle of the shot. All eyes are on the transaction. This represents life and death in Africa as much as any other portrait. It is positive, but you can also feel the tension, the need, the hope. All proceeds to charity. I might even buy this myself. – Dog photography – Africa photography / - Beach photography - Black & white photography – Dog photography – Africa photography / - Beach photography - Monotone photography

  • Tension
    by Jan Timmons

    US$4.66–US$53.20

    Toklat in his zen mode draped over the top stair, after a rough day hiking and playing. I named him Toklat, which is a river and glacier in the Denali National Park and Preserve, after doing some editing and layout work for the Denali park service. Toklat is a very sweet and uncomplicated dark-chocolate Retriever. He doesn’t chase moose. I hope he won’t chase bears. Taken for a challenge in the “Man’s Best Friend” group, and, well, because I can’t resist taking photos of our two Labs. Toklat placed in the top ten of the “Man’s Best Friend” challenge. You should see him when he gets excited (this isn’t the time). Toklat’s looks earned him a feature at “Man’s Best Friend” – Thank you! Nikon D200, Nikon 105mm VR lens. 105mm, f/5 , 1/100, ISO 100, -0.3ev. Converted from RAW to jpeg using Capture NX 2, manual exposure. Unedited, no post-processing.

    US$3.99–US$91.20

    During a relatively peaceful 2002 protest against the World Bank in Washington, D.C., anti-war demonstrators began to change the situational climate of the march. Tensions between protesters and police, who were expecting a violent demonstration, started to rise. Police began to arrest everyone that they managed to surround inside Pershing Park, guilty, as well as innocent bystanders alike. These demonstrators were pulled from the crowd, handcuffed and thrown on an awaiting Metro bus. No one was read their rights as bystanders looked on in horror.

  • Taming the Minator
    by Robert O'Neill

    US$3.99–US$91.20

    A depiction of trying to keep overwhelming forces under control. Based on a statue I photographed in Zurich last week. I was there trying to organise paperwork, and realised we had been misled and things delayed by a month.

  • Await
    by Melissa Mailer-Yates

    US$3.99–US$91.20

    Acrylic on canvas. The same model, but in a very different mood, I love the tension of the moment, waiting for someone to arrive, staring through the window, hoping.

  • Surface Tension
    by Donna Ridgway

    US$4.99–US$114.00

    This horse is named Murphy. He belongs to my cousin. I once rode him behind Split Mountain. When I visit my cousin, I like to go out and take photos of her horses as they roam freely across the ranch. In this moment, Murphy came to the creek for a drink. I loved the way he was contemplating his own image. And here is that moment before his muzzle actually touches the water, there’s a surface tension… a waiting…a feeling of something about to happen. I found myself waiting expectantly for the ripples that would soon form. This photo was featured in All Pets Great and Small.

    by ericvasquez84

    This was an abstract piece that I wanted to create that showed tension while also incorporating some natural elements found in nature. It’s a fun but sometimes difficult task to emulate the randomness of nature!

    I had some storm chasers see this image and they got very excited saying I had captured an extremely rare aspect of lightning…the little reddish line above the tower is about to become a lighning bolt. / I had driven around in the strom trying to find a vantage point, without success for over an 1hr. / Headed for home walked out onto the bacony and shots this with a long lens twithin a few minutes!...LOL.
