I have seen this "style/ approach " done before..... the information here is a bit too abstract to pull out into "recognizable "

 

Also if my memory serves me right, the picture with the bowl+ flower on water was a lotus and you could "see" more of the "crescent" o the bowl rim..suggesting ..crescent moon etc

 

So the image that was made..was "more" than just a "graphic" ..it was also "symbolic" on many levels

 

The idea is great, but the "execution" needs work..I suggest you try anything and everything, don't be afraid to ..waste, be messy, make mistakes etc

 

Thanks for sharing

 

Cheers, JRM

Ingrid,

 

This is one shot that is presently beyond my imagination. There must be some personal feeling in this. I have looked at this several times. In reality, it seems to be a flower floating on water inside a bowel.

thanks for your engagement with my photo, tell me what is for you wrong.....

 

first - i love this photo....my photo

i like the reflex on the water ( it´s a reflex of the sky by a window)

i like the silhouette of the flower

i like the game with light and shadow = flowergame - waterreflex

i like the not yet open florescence, looks like little corded small parcel or little pillow

 

it´s for me fantasy....

Its not what is wrong..its " pas assez d'information" so it makes it hard to connect to, remember the Vivaldi principle...if this is for you alone..fine..who cares..but if this is meant to communicate something personal to your viewing audience, you need to give them more to grasp visually. This is a very oblique visual statement.

you mean it´s difficult for others here ?

you mean i should the approach/ the requirements to ease ?

you mean it´s not possible a commutation ?

you mean it was better here a photo with livid green/yellow flowers in a glass of water ?

Nein,

Nein und Nein und nichts

 

The artist needs to 'contemplate" who the image is for... in this case its so vague and abstract, I will assume its ONLY for you, because only you understand it.

Don't get me wrong, I love B&W photography, I have 700m of Agfa APX in my film storage .

Now, IF this image is not "just for you" but for an "audience"..then its about showing more that its a bowl, more that its a flower, more info that its water, more!!

 

Secondly, this "style and type " of image is very common in Buddist books, in the " Tao Te Ching Books of the late 70's, where you would see wonderful black and white "minimalist" images of, bowls, water, waterfalls, a twig , a rock with a snowflake a tiny flower..you get the idea..BUT the images were "readable, understandable and accessible to the viewer..

Am I making any sense?

thank you leicamann for your Information and explanatory notes - it´s interesting for me, because i don´t know Tao Te Ching - i don´t make 700m s/w film - but it´s no odds

you mean so, that this photo at the viewer not a own fantasy to activate ...?...self-activity ? maybe something else to find inwardly ?
