"....
The sea
smiles far-off.
Spume-teeth,
sky-lips.

Thanks for looking.
Cem Usakligil:The Sea Smiles
Hello Cem,
The wait for this paid off! You seem to have totally absorbed philosophical questioning and materialized these processes in a dynamic and impressive picture. It's unique and worthy of our attention. Kudos and thanks for sharing this new picture here.
This picture is so impressive and one simply is not going to walk past without being pulled in to enjoy it immediately and contemplate it's meanings. Of course there's beauty in the top portion and handsome elegance in the lower part. That alone is worth the attention. However, there's more. There's a portal, albeit without a roof, that links the lands and path to the sea and sky. The master metaphor, "Life as a Journey" seems to be represented and is the underlying thought-provoking powerful value of this photograph. We can ask lots of questions.
"Where are we going?", "Where am I going?", "The built up world gives us "what?" in our journey?", "What does the future hold for humanity itself?" and so many related questions.
This picture is not only technically impressive, it also surprises us with its almost perfect symmetry that serves a purpose in driving us forward from the lower handsome bespoke woodwork of man through the central portal and on to the water and sky to the utterly unknown.
Could it be improved? I think it could be further developed with an even wider view wherein the beauty of the clouds can be more extensively explored and each cloud can be seen more completely. I do feel that this theme is going to continue to inspire and drive you to make more in this series.
