nefis bir calisma mehmet, kutlarim:=)

Magnifique. Superb work, with great execution and thought put into it. Love it.

you are a creator of the Airy world, lovely, jana

I'm still a beginner to photography and have been viewing the posts here on photo.net. But I'm confused, I thought this site was for photographic images not artistic 3D software works of art. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure this took a lot of work, but where is the photographic image?

Excellent thought and delicate concept.

Kelly,

 

Don't get me wrong, but you are really a beginner. I think, you managed to be wrong on three counts in your comment.

 

First, this is NOT a 3D generated image. In fact, i'm not aware of any 3D (or 2D for that matter) simulation package that can generate accurate and high resolution fluid-dynamic models. (I am an engineer, so I am very familiar with engineering simulation tools) If you know a 3D or 2D or any package that generate images like this please don't be shy and enlighten us.

 

Second, as explained in the technical details, this is a composite image and made of nothing but photographs. So, when you look you see photographs. In fact there is NO CG-generated figures, nor free hand drawings in this frame. Show me what is NOT a photograph here?

 

Third, everybody has his/her own conviction what this site is or should be. Furthermore what photography is or should be. I had a long declaration on my person page what I believe. Photography as an ART form, is more about the idea then technique. This image can be easily, I repeat easily, made using darkroom techniques in old analog way. Would that make this a photograph?

 

I think to use excuse of "technique" to criticize an image is not only wrong but misguided.
