Time to show a red selection out of my favourites!
And a little selfpromotion:
Red Love by NicPi
Hope you enjoyed
.Please read the wonderful poem that B. has written for this picture:
It is pink and gray
It's pink and gray and also pale like limes
Beneath their skins, with just a touch of burnt
Sienna. Such a palette wants sublimes
Like cashmere dyed to match a sweater, turned
Into a luxury that few can buy.
But what is this? The pink is peeling paint,
The gray is steel reverting to the lie
Of stainless, green is some organic, faint,
Repellent smudge, and burnt sienna just
What you'd expect, an oxidizing ore.
The image of the soft, cashmere-like lust
Becomes the teeth of industry's next chore.
The iron age is still our king, but oft
I dream of sweaters, pink and lime and soft.

Great combination of image and poetry. Not too literal an interpretation, but instead an "inspired by" relationship.

B. does a lot of poems she claims to be inspired by my photographs
From what I understand (not being a native speaker) they are very intelligent with a deep emotional core

Neat shot. Did you try inverting the colors or playing with it some more. Maybe B&w or sepia?

I agree that these teeth, when still being busy, would have been VERY destructive. Merci beaucoup, M. Jo.
