i must be up front, this photo has no special meaning nor does the title. i am not a "fine art" kinda guy but i thought i would try to come up with a very random black and white shot to see how it would do. as far as the title, i have been on a kick lately of giving my shots nonsensical titles cuz it makes me laugh.
thinking i may be in the running for a brown, we'll see...
auto w/b and curves in lightroon
sharpen,kodak air brush and silver efx pro in PS

Oh man, the first person I thought about when I saw this was Ken, and him calling me a right-brained lunatic, and repeating that he is Art, not artsy. Lol, then I read this:

Don't you just hate hearing you have failed on the exact points where you succeeded. I mean to assume this image has a single focal point is amazing to me. Oy Vey!
6 - I like that you've gone for oddness, but it is not quite odd enough and doesn't pack enough pp punch, in my opinion. The focal points also detract.
I think this will do very well in the voting but I see a lot of these juxtapostion shots that I don't honestly understand. Top Hat's, umbrellas, eggs, nudes, jumping fish, birds nests, old telephones, clocks etc. all placed together in frame... I need to know why?
Stands out from the rest with it's clean lines, going for the modern description. I don't get the reference but I don't need to, I find the subject and composition intriguing, like a puzzle.
