A Melting Hand Photo

Photographer’s Note

How quickly the snow melts as the warm breezes blow in! The mounds of beautiful cold whiteness quickly turn to glittery ice and slush, and then to brown puddles. You can leave your mark in the snow, but soon it will be gone....

A handprint on a bench, photographed on film and later scanned.

Hi, Erin
A simple subject, it could turn to be a sharp idea. Especially, with your note.
I like the mixture of beauty and dirty(snow and mud)which were compared in your picture.
Smart idea,
kenggaroo

Simple yet elegant. Very well done. The almost gostly handprint brings caracter to the composition. "De l'art éphémère" a piece or art not possible in time making it fragile and important by it's young lifespand. Thanks for immortalizing this piece of art...

Hi Erin,
This is a great sinister image. It good be a perfect illustration for a thriller. For example a new Nicky Finch: “The secret of the melting hand”
