The person may or may not be a girl...hard to tell...but the figure is skating, not running.
When someone says, "run" out of my life, it does not mean you must literally run away; it can happen in a sms or Facebook nowadays. All the more so when it is in an art form, such as a pop song, where imagery rather than literalism is the order of the day. BTW, since it is my photo, I know it's a girl. The image is "meant" to convey a sense that someone is on the way out of the frame of the camera as well as "get out of my mind" as in the song. Hope that helps.
IMO, author, we have too many nitpickers at times. It seems that some folks can't see the forest for the trees. IMO, this fits the theme well. High score and good luck.
Ah, thanks a bucket and judging from your avatar, you know all about running or was it chasing?
I am a runner and a bicyclist. And I gotta get my avatar to run a little more cause his gut is way too big !! I got him in training.
It's not "nit picking" to point out that the photo is such a loose interpretation of the lyrics, it really does not fit them very well.
The imagery of this photo is too vague. If you have to explain the symbolism, you've failed at communicating it.
The "rule of thirds" would have helped this composition quite a bit. Theoretically, the girl is your subject, but the clump of foliage is more the visual focal point. The extreme "minimalist" inclusion of the subject, combined with skates, makes her seem more an afterthought of a photo of greenery, rather than an interpretation of the song lyrics.
Thanks MossyB for taking the trouble to examine it the way you did. As it is a matter of personal interpretation, you are as correct as anybody else. BTW, I don't think the "greenery" is that interesting to merit a focal point all on its own. The girl was skating back and forth in front of me, and I had to take a few shots to get her right at the edge of the frame.
Howdie stranger!
