Hi Asher,Dwayne,
I first wondered how such a title might fit a rock. After all, a rock is dead and should be void of feelings. When someone close dies and they have become just cool, the forehead can be cold and slightly moist. I had a feeling that the forehead was like a cold rock moist from a mornings dew, but lifeless. Hence my puzzlement at your title.
However, your picture does evoke feelings of sadness to me as the water goes backwards, (from a Western Standpoint), and there's nothing like a child, bird, sky or butterfly to uplift us. There's not even color. As the water is moving, it's alive but retrogressing. There's the negation of progress and that creates the negativity, disappointment and hence the tears.
I'm surprised at my reaction to your seemingly ordinary waterfall. Did I merely project my own stories to your picture, primed by your title. Did I trick myself?
Asher
Who else thinks the title is fitting for them?
I wonder how it would seem flipped?
I like this and the use of a slow shutter speed to blur the water is a much used but nice touch!
