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.]
LOVE it!! I could spend so much time in this image. That’s what we want, aye? more of this subject, please! (who is he?)
I like it, the depth of the right side of the face looks cool and the left side underwater. Is that a sword in the middle?
Like it. It’s the first impression I get. I like it. I like that portrait. The big side vs the small side. Dark vs light. Soft vs detail. The soft edge of the person vs the hard edge of the building. I like the dividing line. I like that it makes me ask what kind of photoshop trick is this, but then to see that it’s just a photo rotated 90 degrees, makes it real. It seems to, almost, take more imagination just to rotate it.
I like it! I like the distortion that isn’t distortion. I’m drawn to the two eyes that are different sizes and the then to the two sides of the head that match but don’t match. Entirely captivating…
I love this. At first I thought it was a cracked mirror and then realized it was half underwater.
