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.]
It also took me a minute to figure it out. It feels kind of like when I look at something with one eye at a time. One eye has a slightly different focal point. If I could stitch them together without my brain interpreting, it would look something like the guy photo.
I really like how you changed it to a portrait layout so at first it’s sort of jarring and confusing to see the water line going up and down. Great photo!
i think its awesome! i like the way its rotated because it leads you to believe the guy is standing in front of a window inside a house or something then when you turn your head you see a completely different image.
Love it! It took me a few seconds to realize what was going on. Anything that throws you off and makes you think is interesting. I’m keeping up my Project 365 at http://bit.ly/iabMgf and I’d love to get more stuff that makes people think. This gives me inspiration…thanks!
like it vertical.
love it horizontal.
I think it’s plenty cool as shot, no need to turn.
I think horizontal loses strength.
