This is a very uncomfortable image, it feels like slipping on snow. The primary elements are the blurred background on the left, and the distorted scene reflected in the glasses. The path of focus is along the edge ofcap to the frame downwards on a dynamic path that shoots the eye down out of the frame. I find my eye swirling and sliding, trying to find something to settle and never getting a grip where it can rest.
If you wanted to give the feeling of walking on an icy sidewalk, good job, I gave it a 6 for that unsettling feeling. The weird black and white in color was a bit unsettling, I have a feeling such a quirky study would have done better converted to B&W so the folks who see all serious inquiry into form and blur as needing desat, could have voted it up. |
