I like the contrast and beauty of the image but it appears to be just a tad soft to me.

FABULOUS. For me, as I enter a new phase in my life...I'm tying a BIG KNOT and I'M hanging on for the sake of me. Thank you for being an inspiration on an otherwise difficult day during a very difficult time. XO!

In my own life, I've always found that in my ends are my beginnings. The two are interwined, and forever merge into each other. For me, that makes this image very powerful and exceptionally rendered.

This just reminds me of the line '..i keep the ends out for the tie that binds..' from Walk the Line..funnny how the same thing can evoke different reactions and memories in different people.but therein lies the beauty.

"every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end"

and now i have that song in my head. thank you!

in all seriousness, though, that's a mightly powerful picture you have right here. it speaks volumes in its simplicity, and having it in black and white...i couldn't see it any other way. bravo. well done. bellisimo. i absolutely love this.

Very clever, philocophycal and acute! You might be interested to put it in 'Literary reference' group i thought.

A powerful image, the title and the quote gives it a symbolic interpretation, but the image is very expressive and artistic by it self. Well done!

If you are hanging on shouldn't you be on the other side. This feels more like a knot at the end to prevent something sliding off
Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )

Kelly Angard - kreativekell says:

symbolizer...i love the english language because many times there's more than one definition for a word; for example, the term "hang on" used here can also mean to simply hold on tight and not give up!

Thanks for your observant eye, though! :)

very good expression of a concept. the veins on the arms add strenght and passion to the picture, just maybe i would have not put the writing.
