Great image.....What is it ???

It is a beautiful, interesting image. Nicely done. Dan

It is a great picture. What is it?

Beautiful image. On one hand, it reminds me of a graphical interpretation of 'Chaos' and on the other hand it sharp, crisp and clear. Very nice.

I do like this image. I find this one eye catching, original and creative. The forms, the light and the tones are very good. The repetition of the patterns creates a rythm. Very good. Regards.

Hi Laimis!

 

Superb shot! I used to play with fractals and this one remember me that feeling.

 

Very nice exposure with wonderfull ligth and a woderful idea. Elegant , it blow my mind.

 

My best regards.

A most interesting picture, but I think I remember doing this photo a few months or weeks ago. Could my memory banks be exhausted?

I was once criticized in a landscape photograph that my image didn't have a "central point of focus or interest." My response, as exemplified by Laimis' "wandering," is that the total image can be the central focal point. Whether a landscape or an abstract, can't an image stand on its own in its entirety, without have a unique element that supports the rest of the elements in the image, at least in some cases? Yes, many landscapes, many abstracts, many portraits, etc. will have a key element that is central to the image, but is it a prerequisite to have such an element in all cases? Finally, I like a photograph that exemplifies a concept, and this photo by Laimis expresses the idea of "wandering" very well.

Good shot with confusing lines...Very fine shadows and texture...Beautiful usage of light,subject and art...You should have a good eye and nice thinking to create this art and image...The most important thing is to create this with your creativity...Completely a good and modern are...And thanks for sharing this because of your viewing and creation...Regards(Bobby).

This is an absolutely amazing photograph, eye catching and creative to say the least. I did note that in a previous comment someone asked what it was. I can only assume that the subject is 6 inch wide cardboard, layed on its edge, folded back upon itself on top of a glass surface and then backlit.

I like the way you see a long strip of paper ;-)

Una magnífica abstracta, muy atractiva por las formas y la incidencia de la luz. Felicidades.

Very interesting photo and very nicely done!

Beautiful, nice tonalities, excellent exercise.

Titles on photos impose ideas on the viewer...get rid of the title, it takes away from your photo.

This is quite an image. I agree with Stephen Penland regarding the need (or not) for an photo to have a key element, I don't think it is a requisite either. This photo is a great example. Nevertheless it is a thing that is personal and it is called 'taste'.
I would like to add something regarding the use of titles on pieces of art. As an photograph, painting, music, etc... is a manifestation of personal creativity by someone(s) so are all the choices of all the other aspects related with the work. This is valid as it concerns the title, the means chosen to display or the intended audience, in this sense all this aspects reflect the choice of the creator as well, and by doing so they do not impose more that the pure work alone, they are part of the work.
Indeed I feel gratified to be able to see this questions raised up and to participate in the process myself. It is great that such a wonderful photo could be the inducer for the debate of those ever so pertinent subjects.
Congratulations Laimis.
All the best,

This is an interesting and useful choice because it makes us think about visual elements in a non-representational way. The impact derives from the repetition, of course--a multitude of loops of about the same size and shape, varying in placement and orientation. Given the multitude, we might suppose that there is no other basis of organization, no center of interest, but in fact there is. We can readily perceive modules in which the loops share a similar orientation, or are arranged about an axis with other loops of opposing orientation, and these modules are of varying size and shape, in contrast to the loops of which they are composed. There is also a center of interest which is defined by shadow and light--the brightest modules just above the straight horizontal at mid-picture. This is a sufficient condition for our eyes to be allowed to wander and to trigger associations with botanicals, three-dimensional forms which shift in a plastic Cubist fashion, and the like, and this is an interesting and rewarding contemplation.

I raelly like this abstruct image. The pattern is very interesting but it lack a focal point. My eyes continued looking around the whole image and stop nowhere. Something that stands out as the main subject would improve this photo. Congrats.

Beautiful abstrac, great work!

Pretty image.
But as Willie the Cropper states...didn't we comment on something similar several weeks ago.
There are so many interesting/profound photos on this site.

At first I struggled to interpret this photo to satisfy myself. I looked, I read comments, looked, visited your portfolio trying to understand... That is, if this is to be understood. Gradually, my brain did what I understand our human brains do and found patterns (whether there or not?)
I see focal areas created by light particularly the three brighter areas central in the frame, patterns in the folds: hands, flowers...? It seems to my eye there are broad diagonal lines from the lower left to upper right that give some dynamic sense of movement or sweep to the image.
I am not sure yet what my opinion is of this shot, except that I think it is highly unusual, and thought provoking when I spend a little time letting it reveal itself (or my own projections on your image.) These things are not small accomplishments especially if many react in a similar fashion.

Regarding titles (raised by John Kelly and addressed by Mario Azevedo), I don't think they impose ideas on the viewer as much as they provide insight into what the photographer was intent on expressing. One of the key questions I have when I view a photo is "why was this photo taken, or what was the photographer intending to convey?" A title often gives me insight into that question, and sometimes it helps me understand the photographer as much as the photograph. I'm not locked into a particular interpretation that is stated or implied in a title, and sometimes I may even go so far as to suggest an alternative title based on the way that I've interpreted the photograph. In the case of this photograph by Laimis, I appreciated the title because it really helped me to understand his intention.

Although Mr. Savickas did a nice job with this photograph the concept is not his. As has been already alluded to a similar image created by Barry Walthall was a POW just a short time ago. In fact, Mr Walthall has an entire portfolio of this genre and I believe that he was first on the scene. Now, I do not know if Mr Walthall was the originator of this concept but this particular image is so close to the photographs previously created by Mr. Walthall that it verges on being a copyright violation.
