My wife said I wasn't clear enough with my intentions for this photo...
I'm not really into sports, and was making an artistic comment on the vacuous nature of these guys posing by the beach playing volleyball. That's why I called them airheads in the title... there's nothing going on in their heads! By removing their heads and the ball, I was making a comment on how I saw them. Obviously this photo wasn't for everyone, but I still stand by it.
Thanks for (most of) your comments anyway. |

| In my opinion, this photo has a number of quite serious flaws. I'm also not sure why the heads seem to whited out. |

| I really can't comment on this because I think the image has errored in upload or something. If it's meant to look like their faces and the ball are made of a graduated tone, then I have to say that it's a gross error of judgement instead. On what I see (and I've screen-grabbed it just in case)- I have to vote this 1. Sorry. |

| I'm not sure how you achieved this in camera but i don't really like what happened to it. I just don't really find this to be an amusing, or attractive photo, and it just doesn't look good to me. This might have had the makings of a good sports photo if you didn't have the weird things on it. Sorry. |

| Removing the ball and the peoples heads was a very poor idea. This image would have been fine showing the people. |

| the aftereffect really doesn't add anything to this. it would have been a neat volleyball shot without it, especially with the ball on top of the net like that. but now it's just strange. |

| Not sure what's up with the solarization on this, would have liked a plain shot beter. |

| Well, I gotta admit this is... different! I'm not sure I get the point of it, in all honesty though. I'm also curious to know how this was done legally. |

| i think this would have been an excellent shot without the post processing tricks. To me, it serves no purpose other than some sort of 'gimmick'. |

| why ruin a good shot? don't think you needed too do those effects., like the sand moovement, and the composition. |

| Don't care for the distortion of their heads and the ball in this photo at all, would have been much better in the original form. |
