Shot in JPG. Converted to B&W with Topaz Labs B&W Stylized Painterly, Levels. It's almost guaranteed there will be a massively labour and time intensive production by our Expert Editing wizards. They will no doubt get 8's and 9's and 10's galore.
My entry is a simpler effort, with the thought that light, if barely exposed will fall apart, and realised thus by motion blur. The smiling features of my model show a more light hearted artistic side to the Falling ApART title; Falling Apart with laughter...and the high key portrayal of what should really be a low key underexposed motion blur making it that much more a thinking "man's" photograph. Nothing fits and nor should it. I expect a sub 4.
Perhaps I'll get a Posthumous... ;P
EPR: Thank you for the wonderful comments, even if some of you didn't get it :) As you know by now comments is why I stay connected to DPC.
What a great image! I love the hi-key and the motion effect but most of all I love the way that motion and effect has given the subject so much character! Almost sinister! Really this is quite spooky to me....as the subject looks like a infamous Australian criminal.....I will tell more after the challenge.
We spend years, as children, learning to see. But sometimes I wonder how I saw things before I learned to see what I expect to see. Maybe it was more expressionistic, maybe I could see blur, I can't remember. By now, I see only what I know is already there & my only hope to see in other ways is the camera. And comps like this. So, thanks.
