Dark, smeared border with a painterly effect
This photograph is absolutely amazing. It effectively uses simplicity while incorporating Photoshop to add fantasy, creating an image that is visually appealing and beautiful. The dark border helps the viewer draw himself into the image and also mimics the water in the scene. Overall, I found this photograph a wonderful use of reality with manipulation.
In addition to the border, I think the dark tones in the water add a sense of depth and opulence.
ReplyDeleteThe green grass is on the verge of being over-saturated (at least in terms of making it look like grass as we see it). This effect is sometimes used to give a sense of something being "more real" than mundane experience and sensation.
