Hey guys... I did a fish shoot this week and have uploaded this image from the series. I

would love to hear what you guys think.

First of all let me say that I didn't plan on such a debate over my work when I began the simple project of mine with cross-processing. I guess that is a sign of progress when you can get so many people to discuss so passionately about a specific piece of work. Let me set a few questions to rest: despite the lack of creativity on my part with the selection of a title, the subject of the image is not the lilies. There is not a specific subject of this print per se. The only intrinsicly avowed (an oxymoron in itself) meaning or communication that was instilled in this image is the meaning and mood I had when I took it. I suppose that is why I like this image of mine as much as I do, because it gives me back the feeling that I had when I took it. As far as what it is "communicating" as you put it, I leave that up to the individual perspective. The beauty of photography is that 100 people can view the same image and each person can take something completely different away with them. I hope each of you absorbed at least one feeling or emotion from the image. I apologize for the size of the image on this site... that was a problem with the scan which was mended on my personal site. If you enjoyed this image please drop by my site at www.RyanNotch.com ... even if you didn't like this particular image please drop by and check out my other work as it is pretty eclectic. Thank you to everyone who put their 2 cents in! =o)
