Greetings -

 

The Elves are right on point when they call this image "cleaver and simple", two admirable qualities that I enjoy. Nice pick.

 

Ms G.: I can't comment on the technical photography stuff like you can (I'm a stark raving beginner), but I strongly agree with your statement that sometimes artists try too hard to convey meaning when what REALLY counts is the personal experience of the viewer-listener-reader. However, where you find the image balanced as-is, for me, seeing the folds on the left side would be a plus.

 

Keep up the good work, Mr. Walthall.

 

All the best.

Barry, As you know, I've enjoyed your work from the first day you signed on. I would have expected a variety of responses to your abstract setups and hoped you'd break your vow of silence since your return to shed some light on this.

Obviously influenced by Francis Bruguière, who spend a good portion of his creative life cutting and folding paper for VERY SIMILAR effects. Of course he didn't have access to a digi camera and PhotoShop.

Evocation of the spirit through the eye. Is that not what photography is all about? Simplicity is very hard to understand, let alone master. Do I hear 8?

A simple concept, beautifully executed. Your portfolio is most excellent too. Congratulations on photo of the week, richly deserved.

I have always enjoyed these shots. As far as POW... all I can say is ... about darn time!

 

Please keep the creativity coming.

 

A heartfelt congratulations to you sir!

The impression I get is computer graphics, not a photo. Could work if printed properly, but does not really work for me (as a photo) on the computer screen.

IMHO, all images on photo.net should be imagined as prints for the purposes of rating and discussion. I doubt that anyone who sees this image as easier or somehow more appropriately executed as a computer graphic rather than an arrangement of paper on a light table has experience with either one.
