Since yesterday afternoon, I've been participating in Canon's Photo5 Live comp, being held at the Digial lounge, in conjunction with Vivid Sydney. @ozziehoffy very kindly shared the info about this comp, which helped me plan the weekend. The comp has a total of 5 briefs over the weekend. 2nd brief, held this morning, was Marbles - Macro/close-up and ambigious use of Sydney surrounds. Everyone got a bag of these marbles. This shot made into top 5. Not sure if I should be happy that it did, or should be disappointed that it didn't win me the awesome prize pack.
For that reason, I am going to use this as this week's get pushed entry. Set by @victoriaboyd, I was asked to portray Disappointment
should not be a disappointment but I can understand. this is topnotch and you have a tremendous amount of talent. your time will come; you are capable of taking the most incredible photographs. congratulations!
Ah....so hard to get "so close" to total victory and be denied. It is frustrating. I think the best thing t do is remind ones self how great it was to even get I. Too 5 and how it is the process you truly love....and that usually will help. I am amazed these are marbles and not larger crystal balls.i like the suggestion of image in the soft background, with the sharp partial images in the marbles. I love this! Fav
Good in B/W
Thanks everyone :-) I learnt a lot during the whole process
I did the same idea a few months ago! (= http://365project.org/ellaelami/365/2012-05-17
