I chose to submit this photo for the weekly contest, do you think it fits the theme? It was during a hiking trip to the mountains, we spent the night there and we were packing up the tents and getting ready to leave, but a friend just sat there singing. X-posted on the plastic wonder thread.

It's a nice capture...but when I was looking through the submissions it id strike me that this was not quite ecstatic...it feels like a more subdued form of joy...

I was afraid about also not quite ecstatic but best I could find browsing my shots. Very challenging theme!

I totally agree...I had the same difficulty trying to find some expressions of ecstacy.....makes e want to go out and find some...and in not the expected places like.athletic celebrations of victory...although they do express it well...

That guitar really pops off the screen! Love this lens, I just got one and it seems there is no end to its versatility. Good work!

I was waiting for somebody to notice it. Those were the remains of the breakfast and it was a mess indeed, but he hadn't started to pack yet. When we moved on there was nothing left there. We are carrying back with us all the garbage, I mean literally everything, even the cigarette remains. Especially the guy singing here is kinda strict about it, he's been through a lot of ecological cleaning campaigns and stuff like that. I feel this picture doesn't do him justice
