Here’s the Photo of the Day.
Like it or not? I’d love to know, and it would be good for everyone if you told me why.
[BTW, this image is from our “OGI” file. What’s that? Well…when Scott and I are editing photos after a shoot, combing through thousands to find the select few that see the light of day, we employ a practice that I can’t recommend highly enough. That practice is to put those surprise images–the unexpected happy accidents that have merit, but maybe aren’t relevant to the job we’re editing–into a file of their own with other like-minded (bizarre, unique, etc) images. We call that file “Otherwise Gifted Images”. That’s sort of what I meant by the title of this post. It’s got a double meaning… in one sense, like this image or not, the practice of saving random, unexpected stuff to a common file, or tagging it a certain way, is a good practice. In another sense, I do want to know if you like this photo or not. I’m bias, but I love it. In fact, I took a spin through that whole file last night and fell in love all over again with about 40 photos.. I’ll be sharing more of them over time.]
I feel like the water surface should be horizontal. Otherwise a great photo!
Nope, don’t like it. The picture is all about effect. But the effect doesn’t serve a purpose. So the effect is just a gimmick.
I like it. I like it because it made me work at deciding how it wound up looking this way…my first leap was assuming that it was a sweaty guy captured partially in a mirror while standing (yard /pool maintenance man leapt to mind), and it wasn’t (ok I’ll be honest and admit I did not get to rotating the image before I read that someone else did). Otherwise the shot’s crispy and contrasty and interesting.
Sorry doesn’t work for me. Not enough light contrast on the left, looks too much like too images stiched together. Just my two cents worth. 🙂
It’s very interesting but honestly it took me around 15 seconds to really understand what I was looking at. Would be a nice to display in a art gallery but definitively not on an ad… or maybe….
well, it sure makes a lot of talk! Great pics!!
