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.]
Don’t like.I admit it’s creative but it just doesn’t do it for me. Took a while to figure it out as well.
I wouldn’t hang it on my wall, or go running to show people. In that sense I guess I dislike it.
But the concept is cool.
It’s like 2 different worlds. The serene underwater world, and the busy world above the water.
I don’t like it at all. Experimenting is cool, and it’s a great idea but something here bothers me. Could be the rotation, distortion, black and white, or just the look on his face. It’s just not interesting enough for me to want to really keep looking at it.
Love it. Think it should be orientated in landscape though. Although that may make it easier to figure out.
I like the rotation. I have a similar one that I present upside down. http://bit.ly/e3b9q8 (first one in the 4th last row. I’d link directly but I’m at work and cant get to my server from here.) I like the underwater magnification effect in yours. I did’nt even realize it was sideways for the first 30 seconds.
