Photo - Fun reflection

Jaws by ahermin

I find this image is really funny and attractive. We already knew about reflection in class and I have enjoyed many photo from my friend's blogs too. However, this image impressed me more than any reflection photo I have seen because the reflections complete the images.

With the reflection, I can see the jaw wide open and ready to swallow the fish. I have tried cover half of the image and I can clearly feel the difference. Without reflection, I kind of feel like it isn't an open jaw anymore. This reflection works even better with the fish. When I looked at the photo a little further away, I can see all the fishes make a another larger fish, very stunning.

We can easily see the reflection here is manipulated but that's why it is eye-catching. The concept of this image is "Now. A moment or period in time perceptible as intermediate between past and future" (from Ahermin)

To me, people always longing to past or future and sometimes forget the present they are in. This image remind me of this thought. The man running forward, like people think about future and in the reflection, it's like people wanting to turn back to the past. The past and the reflection, very nice combination. It presents the idea so straight forward and impressive.

The way he reverse the reflection but still put the man standing the same place creates a fixed point, the joint between the 2 worlds, just like Now is between past and future. I really love this image for its meaning and composition.

Photo - Promenade

This is a photograph created by Ahermin. A lovely image with nice color and rhythm. Here in this photo, all the shadows are captured nicely, especially the trees and the bird. I thought this is a painting (because there is no one in the cars, so I was surprised to know this is a photograph).

I love the concept of the photo. The image of cars lining up on the streets is quite a frequent image we can see today. This photo, capture the same scene, all cars lining up, just except this is their shadows, a refreshing perspective of the everyday! Many of us forget to approach what we see in different ways... like this (including me ^^).

This is great piece combining Humour + Creativity + Fantasy.
