Olympic Victory

Cleverly composed. I love the title. Do you carry junk around with you, or do you juts find it and arrange it? I like the smiley. :)

For this photo, I found the allegorical Victory figure in this spot from a broken trophy and saved it in my car having come up with an idea for this shoot. I later found the soda can and discarded Gatorade bottles and saved them. The hardest thing was finding discarded lids that would be the proper colors for Olympic rings. Afterwards I put everything together to create this image and then discarded everything except the allegorical Victory figure. Most of the times though, I find everything the same day and put it together without need of saving anything for future use. Thank you for you comment Amelia.

I hope you recycle as much as possible.

Always do. It's ingrained in me. :) I used to take papers and cardboard to a local recycling plant before it became fashionable back in the '70s as a young kid.

appropriate that you brought disparate items together for an olympic image!

Thank you Gerald!

Great use of selective colour.

terrific !

Thank you Rene, HC and Therese!

You really have a big talent to turn junk into masterpieces, William !
Absolutely superb ! ******

Thank you Christiane! Art is art and I guess this is the media I learned to and now like to work with. :)

Let's make the dream true !
(btw: excellent ON BLACK)

I agree! This year instead of dreaming of a white Christmas, I'm dreaming of Ipernity survival.

Thank you Heidiho and Anemone!

I like your narrative and hope that you are correct with respect to Ipernity.

I hope I'm correct too. I like to remain optimistic since nothing is impossible even if the chances are remote unless finality is achieved. Thank you Jeff.

Thank you Begoña!

Thank you Caujolle, Kenny, and Mixpix!

Victory, my friend. A beautiful wish!! An excellent creation William!!

Thank you Zulma!

A nouveau SUUUUUpeeer.. bravo William
nice evening
and good Week

Wonderful - thought provoking as you always are ....

''Ipernity Victory'' -- with a sound business plan, who could ask for a better Gift !

Very cool! I didn't recognize the Olympic rings at first, very clever! Cheers

I agree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and thanks for this beautiful compo !

Always brilliant! Love your work.
Hope Ipernity survives....

Sur qu'ipernity sortira vainqueur de ce combat ++++++
( j'appelle combat parce-qu’il y a toujours un vainqueur et un vaincu)

Outstanding creation.

Exceptional composition!

Holding out for Hope....

(PS.. UK recycling started long ago.... have recycled since the late 60's. Here in OK... slow to catch on.. we drive 30 miles to recycle weekly.. we take it to a place when we go to do the groceries.)

Sad to hear about OK. Here in NY laws now dictate that plastics, glass, paper, cardboard and other recyclables need to be separated for pickup. If they're not separated, violators face fines. Still, who wouldn't want to recycle for the good of the Earth and future generations?

Thank you Rol/photo, Peggy, Proxar, Auggie, HvidLiljer, Nora, Diana, Larry, Malik, Don, Helena, and Pam!

I echo your sentiments about an ipenity victory! Cool image. Trying to figure out what the angel is. Have a nice week ahead, my friend!

The angel is a symbol of victory from a broken trophy that had been discarded.

Gekonnt dargestellt.

Thank you Ron!

Note: Image created from online free clip art, and Berlin skyline obtained from Skyline Clipart. I included a crescent and star above the nativity scene to express my hope for religious tolerance and religious unity against the evil propagated by terrorists and murderers who exploit God to carry out their repugnant acts of violence and promote their sick ideology of hate. I included the biblical quote from John 1:5 to express the fact that evil will NEVER win.

belle image remplie de symboles forts...
:'(

great composition!

Thank you CP_U!

irony fits well to this series !!!

Thank you Gottica. It's very sad but fortunately evil will never prevail as good people every where stand in unity against these depraved monsters and their sick ideology of hate.

Another look!
Have a great Christmas and new year.
