    Invisible Bull

    This one is from my 'I don't know' basket. Just throwing it out there. What do you think?

    Cool shot, because of the time of day the dark foreground works for me

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Yes, she does look like a matador holding out the towel. I like this Liban, but I think this is one of thoses photos that work best along in a series.
    I like the puddles in the FG reflecting the little light that is around and keeping it interesting. I'm wondering what this person is doing. looks like smoke is there and so could be extinguishing a small fire?
    Interesting image.
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    I see another "ghost" I like the tension between the two banks - civilization vs. primitive.

    Re: Invisible Bull

    hminx, thanks!

    Gary, the person was partaking in some New Year religious ceremony that some Cubans do. I don't really know exactly what it is, but they take out things to sea. collect water, drop stuff there. All kind of different ways, according to each person I saw. what looks like a fire on the right was actually another person, that was moving a bit faster, hence being almost invisible in this semi long exposure. thanks for the comment

    Paula, that's a nice take on this that I hadn't thought of before. civilization vs. primitiveness, I like that. Thanks!
