The enchanting beauty of the sea is its anonymity to its native and to the land that poses a danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schirmer describes the kiss of death and how one would sink deep into the abyss with a sealed fate that would be a secret that the ocean keeps. Schirmer elaborated further by how the unknown ocean will kiss and provide sensual emotions just before the light disappears from the eyes to never return to the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beings, sirens that surrounds the protagonist seems to depict the many sensual emotions that Schirmer explained. The protagonist seems to accept her fate with a strained smile on her face and the beings around her seems to be in a joyful and almost playful manner as the protagonist drowning further into the siren\u2019s playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The masterpiece was awarded with a Platinum Medal for its brilliant execution of photomanipulation and its multilayered depiction of drowning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Credits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrant Name: <a href=\"https:\/\/europeanphotoawards.com\/winner-info.php?id=786\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\">Sirens \u2013 Sensual Dance of Doom<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photographer: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/byesphotography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link external\">Bernd Schirmer<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Category: Fine Art Photography &#8211; Photomanipulation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>As the 2023 European Photography Awards is calling for entries, let\u2019s honor the 2022 award-winning photographers and their masterpieces <a href=\"https:\/\/muse.international\/2022-european-photography-awards-winners-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photomanipulation at its best was fully brought to life by German photographer, Bernd Schirmer.
