 Just an attempt at "even" symmetry using light and the human form.

I was trying to make it abstract enough that you might think it was two bodies or one.

I think Yoko Ono inspired me. (She has a whole book of "quadrants".)

I used one soft light.

This was actually a photo by Alfred Stieglitz, and is worth about $1.75 million. Just wanted to see how voters would look at it. It's small, slightly soft focus. And a work of art!

Of course it placed next to last. So much for artistic eyes.

Okay, I'm joking. It's not really a Stieglitz. But it was the look I was going for!

Kind of small and puzzeling as to what these quadrants are supposed to be... Also appears kind of fuzzy (?)

Different, but cool in concept.

Poor lighting, poor contrast, out of focus. Seems like you were trying to make yourself look like an @#S. Nothing like starting at the bottom and working your way up. Good luck on the next try.

At first glance, I thought "Oh, just a picture of someone's butt." But this is actually really good. It's a wonderful abstract composition with nice lighting. In the future, you might want to size your photo such that the longest dimension is 640 pixels. Yours is only 259 pixels. Voters are turned off by smaller pictures.

interesting. i thought from the thumbnail: hm, stacked marshmallows. then i thought, hm, stacked marshmallows that look like a bum, then i thought oh, it is a bum! and then i opened it up and it was scarcely larger than the thumbnail. a lovely shot. well seen compositiong! don't mind the grain. shame about the size a bit. good stuff, thought.

Buttt it is just too blurry, butt I'm not sure how it can be improved and still remain nicely abstract.

although the photo is too small, the idea is excellent.

small, grainy, and not actually terribly even.
