Shadow

"Shadow" by Cesarr S. Terrio, seen here.
I enjoy this photo and others like it for their not-so-literal conceptual ideas. The photos in Terrio's gallery in particular are incredibly simplistic, yet they seem to defy reality. I love the idea of surreality in photographs since there is a great notion that if something is in a photo then it must be real. Making a photo appear to have been nearly impossible to take is an intriguing challenge to me, especially if there is a point it's trying to get across, or even a simple theme to express a more complex idea.

P.S. This is Autumn. I had changed it so my display name was "Autumn," then I got an email from Google saying that my name is in violation of their names policy. Funny story, except I can't use my own name. Still working on that.
