Querido amigo Enriquez! It was a big surprise for me see my photo POTD awarded yesterday for two reasons: first, because most of the award-winning photos are often beautiful landscapes of Mother Nature and not an 'abstract artistic expression' and second because it is for me the first time, since becoming a member of Webshot, in achieving this high honour. After seeing the awarded pic many wondered: what is this? However, say what really is, not meant to enjoy the artistic expression but, in order to kill the understandable curiosity of the visitors I would say that the picture was taken in a sculptures exhibition in honor of Don Quixote, here in my city of Alcala de Henares. Of course the picture doesn't show the total statue; it is only a very small part of it with a dramatic contrast of colours as background. I have two albums under the title Art photos. In them I want to share with you my personal experience that Art can be seen anywhere if we have enough capability to combine our emotions with what we see. A specific thing that caused to me a specific and deep emotion: that's "the rule" A simple application of Pablo Picasso statement "Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs" THANKS for your visit, THANKS for your comment and THANKS for your support. Hugs. Manuel
Thank you for the nice words and wishes. It was a wonderful surprise to win the creative challenge twice in three weeks, What better Christmas gift could I wish for? Happy Holidays and may your new year be filled with Health, Happiness and lots of great photos. Wolf
