This image was created with the High Dynamic Range (HDR) technique (explained here<\/a>). Normally HDR is used to give both highlights and shadows in high-contrast scenes.

I tried, through lack of cues like punctuation & capitals, and the fractured word order, to capture the mental anguish and chaos of a relationship recently broken down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
