Description
And again, archives are always worth seeving through, especially when the mind is drained of any fresh ideas at all. This one was retrieved from the files I brought from Shanghai, 2006.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend wherever you are.
Thank you for your most valuable support of Pouring. Honestly, I was not so sure about its posting.

Once again - superb!!! Wonderful image Nikolay! :)
Excellent and interesting shot. Looks amazing.
Wow! Really cool image!
Very well done. 5+.
excellent image and the lighting is fantastic.
Eerie and beautiful ... almost like a Rohrschach to the senses!! Excellent capture!
Impressive shot, excellent work!!
That's interesting, I didn't know the Chinese are horticultural control freaks. I have a friend who has seriously considered divorce, because ,left to himself, her huband would prune every shrub in the garden like this, regardless of their natural habit!
very much 'zen'
Interesting and good !
superior image!
Cool!
great composition
Beautiful work Nikolay! I'm surprised that people don't realize the beautiful sculpturing of shrubs is often the influence of China and or Japan. Especially with regards to bonsai...Most excellent work my friend!
Something very special about this one. Excellent. Aloha
It teases the brain to give definition, ranging between abstract images to balls of fur. Great mood.
They look like eggs! Excellent!
This is one of those images that I just know is going to get under my skin and reappear in the future in one of my drawings. Maybe it's the symmetry, I don't know, but it's an exquisite visual.
superb compo!
Absolutely gorgeous Nicolay!
just lurking around your earlier work...a simple study in the orbs of tangled plants, their dappled surfaces, the big dark presence of each bundle, and their coiled-up-animal stillness against the dark soil. Even the ground has lights in it, the very thing that makes this shot sing (in all its elemental simplicity). Another of your studies of a few things, that winds up being very rich. I like it very much. Those shrub 'balls' almost look edible...
