Boo

Excellent idea...very original!...Saludos.

as a photo or as an image or as a "painting" in gray??!! it needs a rating but on what basis? jh

Thank you Ektor.

 

Jack - Its just a photograph, nothing more!

A fun shot but with an undertone of slightly spooky ambivalence as the expression might be a smile or maybe something more sinister.

Reminds me of one of Goya's weird carnival faces

Thank you for your comments, you are too kind [and as to being compared to Goya.........wow!]

 

Regards, Nick.

Like this, brings to mind the 19th century ghost images that were the latest fad then, 6/6

A courageous submission!

Thanks for everyone's comments.

 

This was really an abstract experiment to see if I could make something from a failed photograph. I liked the crop, and thought it had an aesthetic mask-like quality, so I posted it to see what other's thought.

 

Here is the original, un-flattering, full-frame, auto-focus "failure" for comparison.

 

The technical details explain where the failure came from!

 

Regards, Nick.

"to see if I could make something from a failed photograph"

 

HAH! I thought I was the only one who had these. I'm considering a folder titled: The Ones That Got Away, which would contain images that almost made it, but lack one, or two key elements.

 

Anyway, I've heard of studies that suggest newborns prefer pictures of faces, as opposed to pictures of tractors, or flowers. Maybe this is what the see until their eyes fully develop.

Here's the Goya I was thinking of

And here it is again

Thank you Doug, we should always try to make something from the results every time the shutter is fired!

 

Thanks Edward, I was wondering about which Goya, and completely forgot about "The Burial of the Sardine"!

 

Kind regards, Nick.

All views are welcome, thanks, Nick.

Looks like an alien face, but I like it!:):):)

Thanks Ilze, I liked it too, despite it not being the image that I originally intended.
