Reminds me of Popeye with his huge forearms after eating spinach, but infinitely more strange and beautiful.

Dragonfly poetica, by cattycamehome
It's a rare species of bird
that refuses to be categorized.
Its song is barely audible.
It is like a dragonfly in a dream--
here, then there, then here again,
low-flying amber-wing darting upward
then out of sight.
And the dream has a pain in its heart
the wonders of which are manifold,
or so the story is told.
excerpt from "Dream On" by James Tate

This is whom I imagine Type O Negative was talking about in "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend."

., by akiruna
There's been a long-running debate on the Flickr blog about whether artists should be allowed to upload photos of their work. Personally, I think it's an absurd argument - images are images and pixels are pixels. To try to distinguish between what is a "real" photo and what is not in the digital world is imho a futile exercise. For example, because akiruna painted this image, it would not qualify. But if this had been a weird puddle on a sidewalk and she snapped a photo, it would be kosher. Thus - my lack of concern for the origins of a particular work. The image in itself is what matters most.

THOUGHTS OF YOUR FUTURE, by kwerfeldein
As long as I'm dwelling on my mortality... Something bothered me about it until I realized that it was the perfect symmetry - the bridge is a composite of the same image flipped. Very nice photomanipulation.
Grandpa 6, by EvilxElf
Expressive, heartwrenching candid portrait. Hard to look at this and not think that this might be me someday.
Bound for Distant Lands, by Telzey
Wonderfully textured manipulation that could easily be on the cover of an enya CD. Be sure to take a look at the original photo.

. Dreaming Of The Winter Ships - Hibernation ., by 3amfromkyoto
One of the most beautiful self-portraits I've ever seen online (male or female), by Cambridge photographer Stuart Lee.

Grand Ma, by Matsuo
A vintage photo captured by mistubako's grandfather. The entire set, Grand Pa Matsuo his Utopia, is worth the time to look at, as are mistubako's own photos.
winter, by gaubitsa
A wonderfully moody image that feels like it's 150 years old. Captured with a Holga toy camera.

where's my (mind) ?, by POOR IMPULSE CONTROL
Erotic noir image. The focus on a lone glass on an empty table gives this composition a wonderful poignancy.
Vertical, by A. N.
Great color, composition, and bokeh. The emotional power of this image grows the longer I look at it.
life and death, by Fack to Bront
I've seen a lot of photos like this (all of which evoke the archetypal power of the tree), but this is one of the most beautiful.
Another Hannah Portrait, by Tom McFarlane
Tom is a superb photographer. As I said in a note to him, all I can say about this portrait is that it is simply stunning.

Pearly dew drop drops, by IrenaS
Another beautiful image from IrenaS. Please take a look at the huge original to truly appreciate this.

untitled, by peta
My eye was caught by her back muscles, and then by the necklace tail leading down the spine to the corset (with its extraordinary reflections). The hair and the bent elbow give the image a feeling of movement.
