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’s visually interesting but I find myself looking for eyes and an unbroken smile.
Like the idea of rotating a photo taken landscape to portrait orientation.
HA! It was only after reading the comments that I realized it was taken on a pool and it was rotated! Kept thinking it was a bathroom mirror! No clue it was water! hahahaha… oh my…
I like the idea, I like the left side, with the magnification, but it doesn’t matter what I do, or how I look at, the water line really gets on my nerves. It keeps drawing my focus in, then the brightness and thickness of it means I only see the rest of the photo in my peripheral vision. I need to refocus again. I have to work at seeing this photo, the stopping power of this is stopping me from enjoying it.
Sorry, not a fav of mine.
I think I like it. It’s got an Incredible Hulk transformation feel to it. :c) It’s like he’s growing into the bigger man. I like that. Thanks for sharing and letting us be part of what you’re doing, Chase. You’re an inspiration.
PS: I liked your idea about filing these kind of images on a folder by themselves. Great idea!
