So:
- I really like it.
- It's just Photoshop Trickery.
- Anyone could do it.
- But I'm the one who did.
- Am I just kidding myself?
- Would I dare submit such an image for a show, contest or publication?
- Why the hell not?
- But what if they think it's completely tacky? Gimmicky? Trash? Without Merit?
- Should I care?
-
I love it. It showed me a different world, yet an interesting subject.
ReplyDeleteI like the image because it takes me a moment to figure out exactly what it is. Makes me look to see if there are other elements in the image.
ReplyDeleteI am not so sure everyone can really do it.
My guess is you use some sine-wave pattern in the curves function to create a solarization effect.
I suspect the image has not been altered, removed or added items and therefore this is not different that using x-rays, crossing processing or heavy contrast light and paper.
Therefore it could be entered in almost and contest.
For me the original pixels are only the starting palette and I regularly do add or remove my electronic paint swatches to arrive at an image that portrays the feelings and ideas I have about the subject.

George, I couldn't possibly answer all of those questions but as to "should I care?" I would say no, definitely not. If we all cared then no progress would ever be made.
