Splash!

Another shot I had enormous fun with this week. I processed it one evening and it came out very differently to this. Next morning, in a totally different mood I started over and came up with this somewhat more 'offbeat' take on it which I am much happier with.

All C&C welcome

Lovely - I particularly like the hat. But why 'splash' ?

Ah yes I like the hat too...with this technique I never know how heads and hats will turn out but this had a bit of an elfin cartoonish element to it.

I called it 'Splash' because he was walking along a muddy lane full of puddles ( you can see his legs reflected in one at the bottom) There was a lot of waterspray from passing vehicles and I suspect he required a change of trousers when he arrived at his destination.

Thanks for commenting Kaye..much appreciated.

Oh Wow! I always love your pictures, bur for me, this one really stands out!
Gos, I wish I could be half as good!

[Daisy Mae]

You are so very kind Kris..thank you.

I do enjoy the creation of the more 'off the wall' ones best. Here I used some Intentional Camera Movement with positive film and over exposed the original shot to get the 'shapes' I wanted and the rest was pure fun in the editing suite.

Have a play..you'll surprise yourself...I promise!

Arty bugs...sounds good to me Claudio.

No courses just lots of experimenting over the past 3 years. No photoshop either. I prefer the smaller, quirkier stuff.

Thanks so much for your comments.

I'm working on one - mostly trial and error, and nothing even remotely as accomplished as yours.
BTW: Your Flickr site is amazing!

Sharon, Thanks for the encouragement.
I'll post my first attempt later in a new thread - I don't want to hi-jack this one.

Sharon, my absolute and critical view on your latest.... there is nothing to be critical about!
As usual with your images stories are developing in my mind. For some reason I think this should be something to do with a journey tale, told to very young children.... maybe a grown up Christopher Robin heading home.....to his children.

Makes me feel better just seeing it.

Now that makes my day James...it's what it's all about.

Thank you!

Sharon,

I'm trying to decide if it's your demon catching up to you, or you catching up to it.
I am disturbed that I am not disturbed by this image.
I have completely disregarded your title for another that I find more suitable.

Haaaa..good for you Jack. I'd rather not title anything and let the viewer decide what it means to them.

I think the demons and I are about neck and neck at the minute.

Sharon, very intriguing.
