Artist's Comments

blue baptism
Description: The Greek word used for baptism,
'baptizo' means to immerse, submerge . . .
- to overwhelm.

Baptism has the connotations of:
:bulletred: to be soaked in liquor (intoxicated)
:bulletred: to be sunk in ignorance
:bulletred: to be bathed in tears

i see it as initiatory -
to immerse in water
is to commune symbolically
with the dead -
to be buried
to be cleansed
to return to life.

high shutter speed and macro
edited for color in PS7
to achieve my moody
moonlit fountain blues

blue fountain :heart:

Bitch, bitch, bitch. Doom. Gloom. All I ever hear. I think you oughta have sense enough to take advantage of my unnatural state. I mean, look at this unnatural state. -Case, Neuromancer, W. Gibson

Wow! Powerful piece. It does certainly have a mood to it. Grat capyure on the water drops falling. That really makes this something special.
:icontonythemole:
This is such a great picture, I love the angle it makes it look like it is 100ft tall.
:iconbru76:
it's ... oniric, to say the least... I really really like this. The drops give me the idea of something in movement like I was just swimming toward the marble column and it was moving and I couldn't reach it no matter how I pushed...
