"Here Comes the Sun" - George Harrison

Comment:
Now, this is a gorgeous photo, reminiscent of some of the really early photography. I like the hints of suggestions of elements around the figure, which might almost be imagination filling in the holes your image leaves us, and the childlike rendering of the sun.

Cutaway to Abstraction
by pointandshoot

Comment:
Quite apart from the headlessness, which is intensely appealing, I would agree that the right is an abstraction of the left: one could make that a political standpoint and still be taken seriously, almost. Personally, I would call it more of a cubist representation of the right, but there you go. I like that there is a head in the abstraction though, and not in the 'real'.

There's a quality of degeneration from the hard lines of a geometry into faded edges of what ought to be planar that I really like here; it seems so simply euclidean in its geometry, but then you notice the apparent curvature of those planes ... Also, the Picabian references are rather neat. I kind of wish I'd had the patience to plough through the whole challenge when I see this (and there a truly grand compliment).

Depth of field gives it an 1890's feel. And then you wonder what the driver is saying to his passenger.

Love the chaos of this; sculpture to tempt the sea.

Into the sea I fall

You know what, I actively dislike (perhaps not strong enough a word) the processing here. The more so, I think, because its actually quite a strong image, with a great sense of composition and timing, and confidence in breaking the 'rules'. The ruin of a fine photo.

I like the processing here. Has strength and control. Probably lacks for narrative elements, or human elements, or surprise.

Oh gosh, this is so glutinous, I'm struggling a little. Mind you, I wonder whether the fact that the very orthodox dress of the bride clashes so neatly with the fact that the husband (I presume) is in shorts is enough to undermine that sentimentality and make something worthwhile of the image. Maybe I'm so out of touch that I shouldn't find a bloke getting married in shorts bizarre.

The near absolute lack of any depth information at all here is phenomenal; clearly, that is because the front-fill flash has overpowered any other light in the scene, but the result is extraordinary - it becomes very difficult to distinguish shape and angle of the components. This becomes special as a kind of meta-photo - after all, what we achieve is only tricks in a two dimensional presentation: the removal of those tricks leads to a strange disturbance of expectation.

More arresting than most - and, on a meta-reactive level, leaves me slightly puzzled as to what I think; although at least it asks me to think at all, which is a pleasant change.
