I'm not sure if this screams water or pollution or society....

Aww, this is great. I like the reflected branches. Good color. The fish gives it a nice touch.

Wow... I just noticed the fish... nice touch. I'd have given this 6es if I'd seen that before.

I really love this shot. It takes a pretty shot of a pond and turns it on its head! Great concept.

love the morbid nature of this one

Interesting, but I'm not sure of the asthetic quality of this image...

lbstone said 751 days ago:

I have to admit... I'm scratching my head on this one. To me it looks like a snapshot of a doll in some water. I'm not seeing anything really substantial here.

At first I thought it was a real person and that definitely piqued my interest... But after I looked at it for a second I was really disappointed to realize that it's a little plastic action figure. I guess that killed the mood for me.

Looks like other people really responded to it, though. So maybe there's something here that I'm missing?

Aqua Man!

Ophelia!

Thanks everyone for your comments.
I like the idea of turning things on their 'head'!
This is special because I got a new camera over the weekend and I chose the 'water' theme as my first 'photoblogging' project.
I started out attempting to make some pretty pictures on Hampstead Heath, but reality caught up with me and I ended up reflecting on 'pollution' and 'society'.

Stellar effort, surreal and thought-provoking!

> Ophelia!

Indeed... That's the first thing that I thought of. I think I was comparing this to Ophelia and it just wasn't quite as morbid. :)
