Hope you don't mind a dead fish. Made a composition of things on the beach for the Slice of Life February 2008. This was something else I found. Just as if it's going through a stargate (if you know the series).
Editing steps: Cropped a little, converted from RAW, noise reduction, b&w with blue filter, some level adjustment, resized and sharpened.
hmmm, a little strange for me but like the 'stargate' feel ;) Looks like its been dead a while as the eyes is cloudy and agree the blown out jaw is a little distracting.
I like the composition and the contrast but i find the brightness of the lower jaw a bit distracting. I wonder if knocking down some of the highlights would make it even better.
You remind me that fish are symbolic in some way. Vulnerable. A Christian symbol. Associated with water. A fish out of water, and visual proverbs. Your photo teaches me to see the symbolic and consider that carefully and what it might mean when composing or showing a photo.
Great use of geometry and patterns. I was thinking more like the fish is actually spitting out the vortex, or about to eat it lol. I like seeing the details of the fish. It does not look like it has been dead too long. I'm just glad this is not a scratch and sniff photo :P
Full of wonder. I keep wanting to say "oh." (Maybe that sweet repetition of circles and the open mouth). Great simplicity, letting the find speak for itself, and contrast which suggests silvery slippery and the mysterious vortexy void.
