PORTRAIT OF AN UNKNOWN AND EPHEMERAL PERSONALITY

The ice formations hanging in bushes and on trees are sometimes very surprising. Looking for these very ephemeral apparitions, it was quite intersting to meet this man, who reminded me of some personalities from older ages, I was thinking about Don Quichotte or some humanist from Renaissance times.
Anyway his existence is already finished, but the picture can make him almost eternal:-)

Hi Anne,
Yes the ice sculpture looks exactly the head of Don Quixchotte if you imagine. Great capture and well thought. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hy Anne
I was trying to imagine were is the iceman face. This little sunray adds a brilliant touch to the picture. Very good inspiration.
All the best, Oana

Bonjour Anne,
Très bien vu ce curieux masque : sujet original et bon usage du contre-jour. Et par les références à la Renaissance, on reconnait l'historienne d'art..
Bon week-end,
Hervé

Hi Anne,
Very nice capture.POV,details,contrast,sharpness and composition are wonderful.
Thanks for posting.

Ciao Anne,
una bellissima immagine di questa "cranio di ominide" scolpito dalla natura nel ghiaccio in perfetto stile astratto in cui forme e colori sono esaltati nel forte controluce.
TFS.
Buon fine settimana.
Maurizio

Anne, Lovely presentation. Fantastic shot with sharpness and focus. Ganesh

Hallo Anne!

Warum Dein subtiles Bild nicht mehr Erfolg hat, ist mir ein Rätsel. Wir finden doch in der Natur viele solche Bilder, die uns an etwas anderes erinnern. Du hast das gut gesehen und in einem schönen und schlichten Bild dargestellt. Mir gefällt's!

Grüessli

Markus
