Steemit Photochallenge #9 Entry Nos. 1 and 2 in ACTION!! --Balance: Warrior of Truth, Honor, Integrity/Warrior of Light and Love

in #photography8 years ago (edited)

I love these photochallenges.  

Thank you @berniesanders and @jamtaylor for giving me the 

opportunity to play with you and this community.



Motion is one of the joys in photography for me.  

I love the crazy things that can appear when 

unexpected movement is captured. 

 I often even love the blur that occurs, 

the abstract  as powerful as a shot so crystal clear.


Here are two of my favorites of @quinneaker 

who often seems to be flying through the air with the greatest of ease!  

He is very light on his feet, and in the air!


I caught this shot while he was jumping off a white sand dune --

the evidence in the trail of sand that delicately glides off his foot 

and arcs off his toes as he flies through the air.




His pose of  agility, ability, focus, intensity, conquering, 

victorious, masculine strength....

True to his warrior character on all fronts, 

in all circumstances, 

for truth, 

for honor, 

for integrity, 




And this second photo that I must include portrays his other side:


The pose of commanding beauty, awareness, dedication, 

enduring, balance, connection, presence, empowerment, 

heart centered,  graceful, feminine saavy....

The dance of enlightenment~~

light as air he takes flight, 

a warrior of 

light and love.


May your day be infinitely blessed!

What great action shots! Love the power that comes through. Great job @everlove!

I appreciate your appreciation. I believe in the wods of that wise man---"We are the Power!!!!"

I really like how the sand was caught up by his feet - that's a great contender for the challenge, good work!

I like that too--and especially the graceful shapes the sand makes in the air, mimicking his graceful moves.
Thanks for the upvote!!!

Oh yeah--and you're the guy whose photo for this challenge I also loved so much. We have some similar taste!! Love it!

Thanks. I think so too. I appreciate your appreciation.

Beautiful action shots Shellie!! I truly appreciate your interpretation in the balance of masculine and feminine energies as well. :-D

It's like the breathe of life: we can take in and receive (feminine) the divine energy, and we can push out and give (masculine) that that newly processed energy!

And so it is. Opportunity for balance. Thanks for your appreciation and sharing your interpretation.

So full of powerful life . Thank you for your upvote @opehliafu. I am grateful for your presence here.

This photo and those paints are epic @everlove! His pants have such a cloud like quality and the sand in the second picture looks like a halo. Angelically floating on a cloud in the sea of the sky. This is very worthy!

Good eye @allgoodthings! This was not a planned scene but an impromptu moment, so the pants, white sand and blue sky are all just manifestations of the perfect moment. Thank you for sharing your perspective. Love it!

haha even better that a life!

Indeed. I love how the photo just unfolds itself.

I like your first entry! Good luck in competition 8)

Thanks for showing up here with me. I truly appreciate your upvote!!!
