"In spite of the fact I usually don't like a main subject that small to be centered in the composition, it doesn't disturb me at all in this specific photograph. The 'light source' is very obvious and even emphasized by the flare. It seems to add something extra to the entire atmosphere, in my opinion. I also love how the red stands out so much with the golden glow that Econita has captured here.
There's so much to see in this picture, while the subject is so small. That spiderweb in the upper left corner and the bokeh is absolutely amazing. Superb capture!" ~ Anoya

"I know that this shot is already pretty popular with that many favorites, but I can't help but love it entirely. It fits the theme of the contest perfectly and the title couldn't have been better. The light makes tree look majestic, almost heavenly maybe, and it makes me appreciate the composition and the angle of this photograph even more." ~ Anoya
"One of the finest quality nature photos I've seen, this truly sets itself apart by taking sunlight and using it to capture attention on a single object, in a way otherwise impossible to acheive. You can't help thinking this is one of those one-in-a-million shots that really makes you appreciate the world around us whenever you happen to be in such a peaceful place. The term "miracle of nature" seems appropriate here." ~ lazdude

"I love the feeling created with this piece. It feels a lot like hope during dark times and i want to walk through the door and see what comes next." ~ moonbeam13
"This picture sums up quite perfectly the theme of this contest. Unlike most other images in the competition, its primary focus is of the element of light, and would literally be nothing without it. Although very simple in its subject and technique, it still manages to convey conflicting emotions and deep meaning. There are also different ways to look at it, depending on your perspective. Whether you see this and think how grateful we are to have light in our lives, or take the image more literally and imagine what lies beyond the doorway in front of you... the impact is just as powerful." ~ lazdude

"This has more than just impeccable craftsmanship going for it-- there's also the subtle wit of a source of light being acted upon by a light source, and the lovely highlights and ethereal shadows resulting from that." ~ SRaffa

"This might be Free & Blank Verse, but it sounded like Spoken Word to me – it almost sounds like a monologue in poetry. The approach freakofnature00 has taken here creates quite a unique mood that I have not seen often in poetry on dA. This piece explores quite interesting ideas, too." ~ namenotrequired
"I really enjoyed reading this, because it went straight to the point and stuck with the subject of light. Also, a very well written and thoughtful piece." ~ Iluvocnj2006

She talks to the moonO' you poor homeless soul of the skies,
that roams along wherever I go.
you wanderer let not wander my eyes,
looking for you most of the nights so.
enlightens my path your silver glare,
your heavenly touch won't let us part.
as I ride off on nocturne's black mare,
on your unicorn you do escort.
my pal, my friend, you kindest soul;
wish we could walk forever along!
(I swear by your gleam and grey mole)
but take some rest as the night is long!
promise you won't have to count the sheep;
as chanting to you a lullaby;
on my pillow I'd put you to sleep;
letting stars alone light up the sky.

"This piece really captivates the reader, with beautiful expressions and the direct addressing with the use of archaic lexis really adds to the vintage mood of the overall poem, full of personification and geniine pleasure." ~ the-photographicpoet
"I just have a thing for fixed forms... this poem takes a quite liberal approach, but the rhythm and rhyme still have a strong impact. It tells a sweet story with a hint of fantasy, and all together he's managed to create a strong mood and imagery." ~ namenotrequired
"Definitely a cute and quirky poem, with an even more adorable inspiration for it. Overall, I found this to be quite magical. " ~ Iluvocnj2006

"I love the title, Nachmittag, as it really demonstrates a passage of time and the short haiku form adds to the element. I think it has a wonderful overall meaning and the reader ponders on each of the words for a while after reading." ~ the-photographicpoet
"Though it's short, there is so much emotion and visual effect coming from the poem. Truly is a beautiful work of art!" ~ Iluvocnj2006
Other works from Shinato-Kawasaki's gallery:
OmbrageCicadas murmur
A harmonious discord
To the moonless night.
Le mirageConstant as a breeze:
An amorphous horizon,
A dainty iris.
The TemptressMother Nature, thou art a vile mistress,
Plaguing innocent men with guilty thoughts;
Incestuous sin: the root of distress,
Bathing taintless hands in a sea of naught.
Thy motherly blessings are but sordid—
Thou chainest the serfs who beg to be free,
And chidest the vagrant with red orchids
When all he chooseth to seek are daisies.
O, Mother, how thou mockest thine own sons:
Luring all who unveil thy sly guile
Behind the eyes of thy daughterly duns,
And poisoning them with thy scarlet smile.
If I must draw my sword to pierce thy breast,
Then let it be, and may my soul take rest.
SubakoFreedom, fill the feathers of my faith.
Carry her above our flat world—
A world of black, a world of white—
And let her swim in a foreign sunrise,
Blend with the sky, and reflect delight.
Freedom, fill her naïve lungs with clouds.
Atop a shimmering island
Upon the moon's borderless shawl:
Queen of a vertical horizon
And the sweet envy of us all.
Freedom, fill her head with my thought:
May the Earth forever claim the autumn leaves;
May the Earth forever claim the winter snow;
May the Earth forever claim the human feet,
But never the sunrise she has come to know.
SadameMisfortune's thicket
Pits the friendless coyote
With unfriendly wolves.

BirthEternal darkness was its home. Here it zoomed around, or whatever it was that it did. It is hard to measure speed when there are no landmarks to measure it by, no air resistance to feel. For all it knew, it could be racing, crawling or standing perfectly still.
The only thing that changed around it was the others. It could feel them; close by sometimes, farther away on other occasions. They were communicating with each other, but it never joined in. It liked to be for itself and wonder about its small world. Or was it a big world? Was it a world at all, or just a place within a world? It had never encountered any barriers, but it never knew where – or if – it was going, anyway.
It wanted to know, though; it was curious. The first thing it wanted to study was speed, and how fast it could move. Then it could try to find the boundaries of its world and measure space.
It had taught itself not to move. It didn't work to perfection; sometimes it could feel itself vibrate slightly.
One House Three rocks, piled one on top of the other. The solitary wooden house stood on the solitary hill. The greenery was just as visible as God to an atheist. Standing at the peak in his wind beaten denim coat, and baseball cap, he viewed the surroundings. He took in a deep breath, held it, and then exhaled. Slowly, his gaze turned towards the house. The old, battered door dared him to open it, or even touch it. At a slow, marching pace, the man began to trek up the ancient, rickety stairs, until he came face to face with the door. Without hesitation, he pulled it open with vigor.:thumb178546753:
Beyond the beaten entrance loomed a dark room. As he entered the sad excuse for a residence, the man sealed the exit behind him. The entire house seemed to be a sick being, and it did not take kindly to being disturbed by anyone. The ground groaned under the pressure of having to support life on its floorboards. The roof showed its response to the unwarran

University
Only two terms are left until graduation: this one and summer term. I've been mostly busy with the university during the past year and with life in general. I am a bit frightened from my graduation project. It's very difficult and even the supervisor said it ! I hope I'll be able to complete it successfully. Life is very expensive here in the UK. The prices are nearly 6 times more expensive, lol. But I am doing okay. I am living with my friends now and it's a different life for me, but I am enjoying it.
