Subliminal.., a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

Subliminal stimuli unlike any other sensory stimuli operate below an individual's absolute threshold for conscious perception. Visual stimuli may be quickly flashed before an individual may process them, or flashed and then masked, thereby restricting an the interpretation of a moment.

Following the vagaries of illusion. And there was this moment too, just another face on the street.

Hi Sayeed,
Ahhh..fire is back in your gallery, it's been a while since I saw a pic with fire, you do it well, exposing the right elements of the face. His features are made more masculine with the deep colour and excellent contrast and contours.
It is like the guy in the foreground is moving the flame with his hand.
There is , as you say, sensory stimuli from fire like other natural element.
Cheers....

Hi Sayeed,

At last you grant my request. I was just waiting for it. A perfect composed one. The fire and the blood smeared face and pitch black. I am not sure where is this hand going towards. You might had to risk a lot to have these great pictures. Straight to my favorites..

See you
Tushar

Can I request something dear Sayeed?
Why would you want to deprive us of being witness to your photographic prowess?
Why would you deprive us of your meaningful critiques, one of the few in this site, who provides them?
Why would you be so emotional as to leave us in TE?
Why would you not try & help us clear the toxic air in TE & make it a nicer place to comment & make friends? (check the forum posts I've made)?
The choice is of course yours & I would respect it!
I hope that this fine post would not end our visual pleasure!
Best,
Angshu
