First the technical things: The lighting and composition are very good. The POV is strong in this image too. And I like the textures. As for the emotional part; Somehow death hasn't yet succeeded in influencing me negatively. I don't fear death and I know my death isn't coming untill I have completed my life in a way that I know is good. I don't know why, I've just always felt like that. Yet dispite of that this image realy intriques(sp?) me, because it showed me exactly how I look at death. This image reminded me at how I learned to live with death and I feel like sharing that with all you here (because of privacy reasons I'll just call the person who died 'him' or 'he'): I woke up one night because I saw him in my dream. He was lying in a hospital bed and I heard a high continuous tone like in those TV series like ER when someone hart stops beating. I just felt like something bad had happened. About a day later I heard that he had died at exactly the time I woke up from that dream. I was really confused for days, and after a few days I got to say goodbye to him for the last time. I was extremely nervous about it. In fact, it was the first time I ever saw a dead person. But when I finally saw him I simply thought 'yeah, he's dead alright'. Maybe it was because I knew he was dead before anyone told me, but I felt that it was wrong that I wasn't really that sad anymore. After weeks of reflecting the situation I finally realised the truth: I lost my sadness, because I realised that dead always waits for the right moment. I gained much life experience with the whole thing, and this image reminded me of it, because I only noticed the light and the soul going to heaven and the green trees in the background and I knew it was good. It wasn't untill I read the posts of others untill I noticed the grimm surroundings. I hope I can somehow help people accept the uncontrolable force and darkness of death. And if not it's still an explaination of why this image is so amazing.
