I don't know what is going on here but this is a really cool photo. I'll be curious to see how it does since it has an abstract feel to it. What a beautiful fantasy type of scene you have created here.
Interesting capture. It takes a few moments to really stare at this image to identify what it is. It is easy to confuse the figure on the right to be a primate of sorts because the coat moves around the chin in a way that could be a mouth. For me however it is an ok image. The clarity and lighting are much better on the figure on the left. But in the same basket I am assuming that this was at the zoo and through glass so not much control over lighting of the figure on the right.
I really like this shot. The fact that the person has a big fluffy mane of hair really makes this shot intriguing, as well as the expression on their face. Very cool.
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: Wow, this is marvellous, evocative work - a real treat to behold! The edit works perfectly, the high contrast, the grain, the framing. The scratches on the plexiglass work like an overlay to brilliant effect.
So many people would have deleted this from their cards, but it's awesome! At first glance it looks like just a reflection of the person. Perfectly subtle.
