Strange yet rivetting photo. Some kind of game or image on a touch screen perhaps?

Michael Zhang from United States
Ohh the finger against the LCD screen is it? Very cool effect and I like how the lines of the monitor/TV are so sharp.

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada
A challenging image, and one that fits extremely well in this dystopian theme you have going. When the day comes that we can only experience a field of flowers on a monitor, well... Almost like the ragged man from two days ago, I find this quite poignant - no etymological pun intended.

@Damon Schreiber: thanks man...been trying a few new things in order to fire up the mojo. Might start exploring themed stuff a little more. its been most enjoyable.
Bronnie from Christchurch, New Zealand
Duncan, these past few images are incredible - very intense and emotional, processing just fabulous to bring out the meaning of each image. I'm stunned.

@Bronnie: Thanks Bronnie. Its most appreciated. Wasnt sure how the 'theme' would go down or even if I could find the images I was looking for. Im glad its been well received. Thanks again.
@H.O: thank you hiro san! your comments are always lovely!
Mike Cash from Kiryu, Japan
Damon's comments put me in mind of the funeral scene in Soylent Green. How long until all nature is artificial? As the song tells us, "They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot." And Tom T. Hall's lament on the town of Paradise, Kentucky disappearing due to strip mining, "Won't you please take me back to Muehlenburg County, down by the Green River where Paradise lay? I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking. Mr. Peabody's coal train has done hauled it away."
