Gordian Knot

die Perspektive ist toll!

Danke schön, Chrissy.

I wouldn't want to unravel this one;-) I like the perspective, the shadows and the shallow DoF.

It is actually just basic knots repeated all over again ;-)

But the idea was to make it look like unsolvable mess.

a very complished knot, you what happened with the first one......

Thank you, Luc.

Like the black and white and blurred background. Now I will look up this knot.

Thank you, Coco.

It is the old legend and metaphor: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordian_Knot

Seems to have a life of its own! Like a snail. Nice capture Sami

You are right! It indeed looks like a snail =D

Thank you, Janano.

I can't get Jan's remark about a snail out of my head now. lol Good one Sami.

Neither can I =D

Thank you, Chris.

great the way it disappears in to the background, and love the frayed whiskers to the fore

Thank you, Amaz.

I really like your picture design with the blurry background very much!
By the way: The knot looks like the head of a snake with its mouth open. Attention, dangerous! Maybe a poisonous snake? On the head, right, sits a grasshopper with long feelers and looks at us very perky! :))

Thank you very much, Stevia =)

Yes, it indeed looks like some snake.

very good use of dof and perspective, but you don´t need a sword to unravel it :))

Yes, scissors were enough... =D

That looks like a mess to unknot.

And that was the intention, to make it look like a mess ;-)

Fine detail, Sami

... it's "a Sami" ...

The end is showing, so I'm sure you were able to conquer it! Very good shot, especially for black and white.

Piece of art!

Thank you, Marta.

I would love to have it in TBW and the other group.
Please accept the suggestion.

Thank you for the suggestions. Can I only contribute or do I have to join as a member to those groups?

Because of several personal reasons I have decided to limit the number of group memberships to minimum. More about this on my following articles:

Reality check - March 26, 2018

More observations on ipernity groups - April 3, 2018

Of course you can contribute not being a member!
I read both your articles and I agree with your observations wholeheartedly.
Actually I am slowly reducing numbers of groups that I belong to (here and there), too.
So I am not asking you to reconsider your decisions. No way!
But as an administrator of these two groups in question ('The Black & White' is the one I care about the most) I am asking you to let me see this photo among others that are there.
So? :)

Sorry for belated reply, Marta. I have now added the contributions suggested by you. Thank you for your suggestions and appreciating my photos to become chosen to your groups.
