Last Photographer Standing Contest Qualifying Round #9

Welcome to Contest #9, a qualifying round. This round is open to any dgrin member! It will run from Monday, July 9th 00:01 (12:01am), NYC time (GMT -5) to Monday, July 23rd 00:01 (12:01am), NYC time (GMT -5)

The topic ready for your interpretation: Freedom or Oppression.

Shay says:

Just when you thought it was safe to start shooting regular themes...another hard one pops up. There are of course many creative ways to interpret this theme selection. But I think most people will have the best results if they lean toward emotional shots. Make the viewer feel the theme you portray visually. Try to make us cry with joy or ache to escape.

The daring out there can try to tweak and mold an image that redefines the theme and makes the viewer see things with new eyes and new possibilities, but beware, danger lurks here, as well as fabulous success for those who can pull it off

This thread, is the one into which you post your entry. Remember, 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Entries must have exif embedded or appended.

You take the blue pill and the story ends you believe whatever you’re told to believe...You are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch a prison for your mind.

The mind can be a powerful oppressor of our lifes when we allow negative feelings and thoughts to overcome our will.
