Formal Dinner

ingenious!

I love the composition and the idea. I think it can be cropped tighter at the left lower corner. Regards.

Great concept, beautiful execution.

It looks to me that your reflection is in their dinner? You may have tried to block the light so it was softer and would have left out the reflection; unless of course you intended to have the lens in the reflection that is.

Great photograph!!!

Thanks

Very, very clever!

I had almost depaired that photo.net would be completely given over to pretty pictures. I saw a standard view that features on many postcards and calendars given scores of 6 for originality and my heart sank. Your portfolio is almost all original and insightful, many of the pictures with a double meaning or a sting in their tail.

 

Even this simple image has ideas of poached eggs, of sperm and ovum and of the sun's rays. But the reflection of the photographer challenges us to remember "No, it is just a picture of ants feeding". Or is it?

Very FERTILE imagination!

Beautiful sun! 7/7 from me :)

This definitely belongs on the TRP.

 

very original work.

hahah ! perfect !!!

Thanks for this very good picture, I want to stole your creativity .... Wow Perfect .....

Ingenious shot. How did you tell those ants to line up so perfectly ?

Most of your models were cooperative, however, the one is not seated correctly.

Brilliant.....

Did you hire an ant wrangler?

Brilliant ~!!

Brilliant, original and very creative photo! 7/7

Thanks to everyone who took the time to leave a comment and or a rating. I really do appreciate it. Warm Regards,

Todd, this is a great photograph. But I think I would have included in the Tech Details at least a passing mention to Peter Steeper, who did this some time ago. Regards.

I think you are right. Marco Bolding pointed out his photograph to me a few comments before yours. As I stated, I vaguely remember Peter's shot but didn't remeber what it looked like exactly or even that he was the photographer. This shot is only original to those people who have never seen Peter's photograph. I must remember seeing his photo somewhere a while back and stuffed it in my brain until the opportunity arose for me to take a shot at a similar picture. Peter certainly deserves credit for thinking this one up (unless he saw it from someone else, I don't know) and I can't help but feeling a bit guilty for my originality scores. And I guess this is where your comment hits home. Even though I don't specifically remember Peter's photograph or that he was in fact the Photographer, I should have said, " I'm pretty sure I got this idea from another Photographer, but I don't know who..." etc.

 

Anyway, your point is well taken. Warm Regards,

unforgettable 7/7

Anyone who said that there is nothing origional left was wrong.

Very original photo. Great....but the ants make me cringe.

you are right Justin, there are many original things left.

This and the second picture with ants are very original 7 & full of aestetic 7.
