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.]
Like it but I’d say match the ratio/proportion so that it takes even longer to figure out what’s going on. kudos
Reminded me of Charles Bronson 🙂
I really like this photo, but it took me a few minutes to figure out why. There’s a certain duality about it. Maybe it’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde quality to it, and it also has a russian doll aspect, like the body on the right would fit neatly inside the body on the left. I also love the way the dividing line of water changes the facial expression, i.e., on the left his mouth is neutral or almost frowning, but on the right the corners of his mouth go up, almost a smile or smirk. In any event, this is the type of photo that really catches someone’s eye and causes them to give it more than a casual glance. Nice job.
I like it. The distortion in the face creates interest and your eyes travel all around the photo trying to make it make sense to your brain. It is an attention getter.
LIKE. this image kinda makes you go, niceee….ow wait. what the?!? Awesome!!!
