Congrats on the yellow, Enzo. Lovely image, good connection to the challenge. Sad about the fish, the tricky little blighters tend to do that. |

I dig that this is slightly 'off'.
What I think is particularly interesting about this is not that the fish is at the ocean and unable to enter because of the bowl, but rather that the fish *should not* enter because it's not a salt water fish!
there's actually a film on AtomFilms with exactly this scenario. I can't remember exactly, but he gets stuck somehow with a fish in a bag and it's starting to suffocate, so he tears around town trying to figure out what to do, finally arrives at the ocean and dumps the fish in the ocean. Only to realize later that the fish is a freshwater fish.
Not exactly the freedom he had in mind.
What is most interesting about this I think is your status as a pastor. So much of religion and morality is founded upon the idea of placing limits on what people can do based on the idea of what they *should/should not* do. People rankle and skirtch and do everything they can to get around these boundaries, even going to Nietschian philosophies to justify behavior that is selfish on the short term and often becomes self-destructive on the long-term. And often in the name of the pursuit of freedom.
The flipside to this of course is that there's the possibility inherent in all faith that while living in the restrictions of a small fish bowl, we could be on a journey to something that isn't what we think it is. And much effort is put forth in the name of making a journey to a wondrous destination that is a disappointment. And with all that effort, what about the ability to focus on the simple here and now and taking advantage of and delight in what exists within our own humble reach.
Yep. Interesting pic indeed! I guess you could say that it spoke to me! heheh |

I miss seeing you on the front page. You always bring such richness. I must say, I'm a little sad for the goldfish, not that he'd survive in the ocean, but it certainly must have been a tempting sight for him. |

My favorite and top score of the challenge. Love the concept and the colors. Wish there was a bit less blur in the lower left but I'm assuming lens baby? Voted earlier. |

Great shot, but I think the white border is unnecessary. |

There is so much meaning in this photo, it's wonderful. by placing the jar near a body of water, and with the fish longingly looking at said water, this couldn't be more perfect. |
