This is not a reflection..it is trees standing in the snow. These trees looked amazing in the snow...I had to do a big uturn in not such great weather.
I really thought I was keeping this one in colour...then the black and whites jumped me, and I couldn't go back...
This is such an amazing photo - you really need to read your description before you realize how excellent a find this was. Brilliant to turn it into B&W. I never visited your portfolio before and am so glad I did today.
of course i thought the trees were a reflection at first ... even after reading your comment i couldnt see that they werent .. how wonderful this image is .. i can see why you did a that u-turn ..
i particularly love things that arent immediately obvious .. things that either come gradually into your consciousness or are like a sudden bolt of recognition .. even after i know what this is i still have difficulty finding the reality .. how excellent .. !!
i love your title .. :)
Just checking out previous 'Personification' entries to make sure I don't inadvertently duplicate a shot. This one stopped me in my tracks - utterly brilliant.
Wow this is phenomenal, i love artwork that mess with your eyes like this, lovely tones, just found your portfolio, and all i can say is that you have an absolutely phenomenal eye, very well done, added to faves.
Anybody familiar with Sound Forge or any other wave editor? ^^ This could be a screenshot!
Simply awesome, how did this not get a ribbon??! Even after I read that it isn't a reflection, it still took me a while to figure out. I love the cropping too, it adds further to the deception, making the image look even more like a sheet of paper straight out of the heart monitor.
As well as this photo did. IMHO I believe you were robbed. You had my top vote and I really believe you should have taken a big old blue for this amazing shot! LOVE IT.
Amazing this isn't a reflection ... and an outstanding image in general. I didn't score it terribly well (5) since it didn't emote 'personification' to me (I still don't see the tie-in; an EKG-like image doesn't = human emotion or form IMO) but it is a captivating shot and deserves kudos for being captured. Congrats on the Top 10 placing.
I have been trying to express myself in regards to this, but I don't have anything useful to say. 'I like it very much' will simply have to do. Cheers!
Congrats on your top ten from one of your 6 voters. Just didn't have enough personification for me but it is a very appealing photo in it's own right I gotta say.
WOW ! When I first looked at this photo I thought it was an EKG print out... Great shot and the name matches it perfectly. Wish I could get a copy!! Nice JOB !!!!
I need to do more U-turns. You got more 10s than the blue ribbon winner. You blew my mind when you said this wasn't a reflection. If I'da known that, I'da given you an 11.
um...WOW! i'm glad to see this finish so high. if it was up to me, it would have ribboned. definitely my favorite shot in the challenge and not surprising that it comes from one of my favorite photographers on the site.
this is such a wonderful shot....looks almost like a seismograph...what adds to it is how you framed it, by leaving the sides off...it is one of my favs
Interesting idea, though to me it looks more like an audio waveform than an EKG tracing. This is one occasion when the asymmetrical border has an effective purpose.
This is my favorite - it stands alone as an interesting image and for the challenge, it's freakin' brilliant. Brilliant. I love your treatment of it too. Big hairy kudos and hats off and faved. 10
Oh wow! Whilst this photo might not work in the challenge without the title to explain it, with the title it is amazing! It would also stand in its own right outside of the challenge. My congratulations for a really original concept executed so well.
Wow, one of my favorites of this challenge. May get some DNMC, but I really like this - it certainly held my attention a lot longer than many of the other shots competing. The longer I look at this, the more I like it. Excellent, 10 for me and adding to my favorites.
wow wow wow!!! this is so stunning....... this is a very unique take on the challenge theme, and in its simplicity and sparsity becomes an attractive and eye-catching subject. well done! i hope youse a winner, so here's a 10!
this is kinda cool actually, you should have dodged the sky more to give it a more pure white color but the overall feel does look like a heart beat. Well composed. 9
i like this a lot!!! at first glance, i thought it was tracing of sound waves in an audio recording. then i thought it was a reflection of trees on some absolutely still water... this is great!
