Dries Fourie from Vereeniging Photographic Society is our November winner!
Dries, congratulations on your winning image – Thou shalt not tame the Lion in Me
Dries says: –
What inspired my enthusiasm to do this composite is a painting, named “Rock of Ages” which was painted By Johannes Oertel in the 1860s. It is a young woman clinging onto a rock cross, surrounded by rough seas, praying for the Lord, with a sunbeam breaking through the dramatic stormy clouds. The painting is a religious symbolism of faith. Your faith will keep you safe through difficult times. There will always be a light somewhere in the dark
My composite creation consisted of multiple exposures to expose the true power of the religious symbolic meaning to the Image.
The Angels in the dramatic stormy sky was from true renaissance artist paintings, I photographed all over Europe, symbolizing that the Angels are watching over you. The sun bursting through the horizon sky is the beacon and essence of light and hope.
The Authoritative Christ-Lion, who retreats before no human race. The Lion of Judah who has triumphed over all sin. The Lion, King of beasts
The power of prayer, Jesus, who kneels and prayer by a rock, a rock that never wears away with time
