Game of Exploration

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 7 March 2007 in People & Portrait.

The mind of a child can create the impossible from the most simple things of the world, the spirit of a creator is the same as that of a child, always seeing things from another perspective and enjoying the game of exploration.

This is great mate! Like the subject matter; you've captured the sense of concentration and care very well; the framing is also top-notch. Very impressive!

@Chris Sullivan: Thank you very much Chris!

Rox from Japan

The tiles take on a life and a movement of their own, carrying along their reflections in a cobra-like hypnotic dance. Nice!

@Rox: Thank you very much Roxana, I am glad you liked this one!

Behrooz from Tehran, Iran

A meaningful shot! The temporary nature of all the artistic efforts...

DORIS from Panama, Panama

Lo veo de esta manera, es como si tu te hubieses visto nuevamente en ese momento de creacion, concentracion y exploracion cuando eras pequeno. Todo un viaje al pasado, recuerdas?. Ves como se reflejan las fichas? Asi mismo es el curso de la vida, todo lo que moldeas de chico, se mantiene de viejo. No cambia, al contrario, se perfecciona. Muy buena foto. Besos, tu mama

Wayne from Melbourne, Australia

I go away for a couple of weeks...I return...and you're still putting out great shots. Give us all a break =D I love the interplay between the cold glass, natural wood and the warm body...also I like the tile nearest to the person's fingers and how its faced the other way around =D almost like a dare to be different sort of undertone there

@Wayne: Thank you Wayne, welcome back!

Yael Lucas from Oklahoma City, United States

A lo mejor asi la foto no tiene identidad, pero me hubiera gustado ver los ojos de la persona en la foto, mucho se puede leer en los ojos de una persona cuando se esta concentrando

9 Mar 2007 6:35pm

@Yael Lucas: Es cierto que uno puede leer mucho en los ojos de alguien que se esta concentrando, pero a veces el proceso es más profundo, mucho tiene que ver con la mente, la imaginación; pienso que hay momentos en los que uno no puede leer los ojos de otra persona porque está en un proceso mental y no visual!

paperdoll from Panama

It's all about concentration and patience. This child has definitely both. I think another great shot could have been taking the "squared dominoes" from a front angle slightly turned towards one side so that you could also appreciate the ones in the back.

@paperdoll: Thank you Paperdoll, I don't remember if I made a shot like the one you mentioned, I will have to check my archives!
