The silhouette of the bird is a wonderful detail! :aww:
:clap:
:iconarielthepriest:
very nice, I specially like the bird on the fance.. pics like this one change dramatically when somthing we subconciously know is alive, is in the pic or out of it..
good work.. but why not naming it?

Tricky question ... but generally speaking, I am not particularly fond of titles or names. It is partly due to my laziness ;), but I strongly feel that it is up to you as a beholder to decide how you want to construe the picture (or whether you want to construe it at all) and I do not wish to interfere with this process in your mind. I think that giving a title to a nonlinguistic piece of art is to enforce an interpretative approach upon it, even if it is just a description. I may be the one who actually takes the pictures, but I have absolutely no interest in obtruding my personal truth and thus I usually refrain from naming my deviations.

It's okay, I wouldn't remember me either.

ok, aside from you being lazy lol :)I see we are going to take this to the phylosofical level :).. I'll flow with you, and don't take what I say from this point on as me sending rage at you or criticizing you in any way. this is for the debate's sake only ;)
now that we got this cleared out of the way.. *ahm ahm*

saying "that giving a title to a nonlinguistic piece of art is to enforce an interpretative approach upon it" (you said that) and giving a number (and a different אto each worl) as a title might let people assume that the fact that it's a number gives it a meaning (like a holocoust piece titled with a number - represnts the numbers given to the prisoners on camps).
besides that, if you don't want to interfere with the process of interpretation in the viewer's mind, than why are you taking pictures of anyhing? things/animales/people/whatever. why not making all art - wherever it may be - like that piece, of supposedly called art, that this one guy (don't remamber a name) did when he painted a whole kanvas in black, framed it and decided it's 'modern art'?!? why not making all this site black thumbs and pics and drawings etc.?
why? because art is a whole - a piece, with it's title, it's frame, it's color, and whatever else it has or hasn't. THAT is art. because art is the expression of our soul - OUR soul. and that is why I think that it's good to have some people think like you, but on the same day that all of us will think like that, art and soul together will go into oblivion.

*phhhhew* that was long and dramatic in the end I hve to admit.. what do you think? and again.. I'm not atacking you nor your opinions.. just making conversation.. ;)
