So I have visited the GrandWaz's portfolio for awhile and I see this 9th place entry and just wanna say congrats! I see some technical details in your notes, but no friggin explanation of what I am looking at! ;-) Is that you? Do you have 'big hand gloves' ?? (gotta get me some) and you have a big cage? Could use one of those too.
Congratulations on your 9th place finish!
I'm glad you told us how you made the cage.
One question: Did your boss catch you at this? :)
OK...two questions: Why do you need giant hands at work?
Wondering about your occupation...
Yeah the cage is crazy! At work we get these in with a plastic lining and they hold silicone. We took out the lining on two of them and I inverted one on the other to make a perfect, weird cage.
This makes me think of primus for some reason - The cage thing is just bizarre - I can't tell if this is life-size. Just random thoughts I suppose - it's defintely intriguing and fits the Pink Floyd theme - the only thing I might alter would be the composition.
Well I tried to comment before and my computer didn't send it through (I think) so hope I am not repeating anything...
I think this shot is great. My top pick of the challenge. Love the perspective, dramatic sky and of course the cage (which I am so curious as to who has a cage like that on hand?)
If there were anything I'd suggest for improvement I'd say maybe a different pose and perhaps a way to incorperate more colors.
hands like balloons, the gas mask the cage - well displayed against the blue and white sky - magritte-like. Works well. The composition is a little busy for me.
this is so cool but for the giant hands. White cotton gloves would have been much more subtle, much more "pink floyd". but everything else is a home run - great work - 9
