Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #142 'Ace of Clubs'

The name of this art photograph is: 'Ace of Clubs'

I came across this motif a few days ago. It wasn't set up. I found it just like this. The leaf in the dent could be a metaphor of a secluded person running away from people and hiding from the world. He/she feels secure and much better protected in his own hole. The seclusion, a by-product of inner fear, brings along alienation from other fellow human beings.

The dent itself is defined by the dark areas, which is the only thing separating it from the rest of the surface. The leaf itself is partially darkened. This chiaroscuro treatment of the hole and the leaf in it is what defines the overall atmosphere and tends to expose a divided feeling one may have inside a secluded, hole from the feeling one has outside of it or, in this case, from the rest of the image.

There is almost no colour in this image except for the little shapes of yellow, green and blue all over the image. Please, take a closer look to find them. The leaf is the main and accentuated element in strong colour. Therefore it automatically takes all of our attention and binds it to itself. Only after the leaf has been carefully examined, our eyes notice the hole while the awareness of the surrounding happens last.

I particularly like the bigger stone sharing the dent with the leaf. It is like a real friend who stays with a person at all times, no matter what or why when all others already left. This is a friend everyone needs.

Enjoy! :)
