soul - 魂

What does it say?

Really like the harsh shadows and the rough texture. Hard to really photographically capture the essence of a soul but I think you’ve done a fine job here.

texture+shadows make it a really cool shot. I just wish to see it bigger :)

Wow! Good shadows!

the caligraphy is nice. this must have a deep meaning. where did you take this tetsu?

Thanks Iphi, Armadillo44, Ray, Pablo and Eric!
I tool this shot in a small shrine. There was a big stone inscription and this was one character of a sentence. But I forgot what sentence was written on it. I was just attracted this chinese character. :-P

Really nice shot - I like how its coming out of the ground, displaying great shadows.

Thanks Phil!

the shadows in this are wonderful.

Thanks Pei!

Gorgeous texture and shadows!

Thanks Nina!

I love the depth of this photo. The contrast makes it very visually appealing.

Thanks Maralise!

The contrast almost hurts in my eyes. The shadows are cool!!!

Thanks Lary!

Thanks Adrian!

the soul of the "painter-writer" is shown by your picture, it makes me feel an old story.

Thanks Noelle!!
