Lunar

StumbleUpon has become a college student's best friend.  No matter how much work you have due the next day, or how big of a test you have to study for, you can always find some time to stumble away and get lost in the viral world.  One of my favorite aspects of StumbleUpon is the fascinating and unique things I find, which includes works of art.  I have 'stumbled upon' a man making a spray-paint masterpiece in under one minute, seen pictures from little known artists who I most likely would have never heard of if it weren't for this great resource.
This particular image titled "Lunar" is one such image I happened to 'stumble upon' while on the internet, and it truly is breathtaking.  Just at first glance, the image is catchy as a result of its unique aesthetics and the fact that an individual appears to be floating in the air.  It's clear this image was staged and the photographer was trying to get a certain look, and I feel they really pulled it off.  The mist and dark undertones of the image really add a night-like quality, reflected by the title of the photograph.  The person is also small compared to the rocks around her, and appears to be out of place.  In some ways I feel like this person is representing the moon in this image, as the night sky, besides the stars, is a blanket with one large object sticking out: the moon.
Overall, I enjoyed this picture because of its detail and its superficial elements.  These are images that I would like to shoot in the future; technically sound, interesting and unique, and vague in theme.
