Melbourne Candid Series #1026 Swanston St

 


She traces lines upon her hand,
As if they whisper fate’s command.
A secret map, so faint yet true,
A tale of past and future too.

Her fingers dance on paths unknown,
In every crease, a seed is sown.
Does love lie near or drift away?
Do golden dreams begin to stray?

The heart line bends, the lifeline sways,
She seeks the truth in tangled maze.
Yet in her palm, no fate is cast—
Her future shapes with each step past.

  1. Exceptional portrait, while the birds surround the girl, who continues reading without flinching!

  2. Between the woman's posture, the two gulls looking at each other, and the figure at the base, I imagine, of a lamppost, they create a very intriguing scene or, if she is looking at the lines on her hand, an esoteric one.

    1. You got a pretty good analysis going on here

  3. More likely she is checking her hand to see if there are any crumbs for those pigeons. The pigeons are waiting to be fed. Great stories told in your photo.

  6. Hello Roentare :)
    I like the composition of this capture, the seagulls add interest, and I think the young woman has her sandwiches in a plastic box balanced
    on her legs, and she has some of the filling on her hand, and is not happy about it....perhaps!:)

  8. Looks like she is really concentrating.

  9. Parece buscar la soledad en ese lugar en el que está rodeada de personas pero prefiere sentirse sola. Buena foto con un buen enfoque selectivo.
    Un abrazo

  12. That's a good picture - the low angle of view is great.

  14. The birds want her to share her lunch.

  15. I think the birds are more interested in the food than she is.
