Description

This is the ancient Hawaiian art of walking on water. This art has been handed down from generation to generation and taught to virgins only at an early age. Only after years of teaching and meditation can this art be perfected and and individual can cross safely over water without drowning... OR...it's high tide and the water is covering the walkway and the illusion is created that these girls indeed are walking on water...from a distance it sure looked like it...What do you think? heh heh A great week to all, Aloha!

I wouldn't bet on the ancient Hawaiian art explanation - although it's the most intrigueing. The illusion is very convincing - nice catch!

Superb picture. Wonderful trinity. Perfect composition, less academic than it looks like. Rather sophisticated composition. Wonderful distribution of colors all over the picture and nice processing. It is a brilliant illustration of your style. This is a masterpiece !

whatever the question, the fact is that I like the first as a ancient tradition (sacred matters) and the second, the technicity of this shot is great the illusion is perfect without any tricks. The result is a kind of synchretism between ancient tradition and modern technology. A fab shot Sir !

Reminding Me of St.Peter when He was out Fishing ... "I don't care Who You are"...He said...."You are still frightening the Fish with this Walking on Water"...a fine bit of Magic here Bro'!

He he, makes me think of Jesus actually walking over the water like Tedz did.... Won't be easy to frighten the fish in that way (at least, I did not succeed LOL! :)

It's magic of course...they ARE walking on water! Too bad I'm not a virgin anymore, I might have had a shot at it...oh wait...it's been so long that you might consider me a virgin again...is this ancient art open to virgin boys too!?
