When this baby claps with one hand in the woods with no-one around,
does it make a sound?

[jeffreaux2]

OK George,

You know I am getting old....and my eyesight is...well...I didn't think it was this bad!

[gefillmore]

this might end up being my best thread ever!-

[schmoo]

George, given that this is a photo community, did you remove the photo and if so do you plan on putting another one in there?

[pyrtek]

this might end up being my best thread ever!-

It has the potential, but the moderators will ruin it. They've already started.
Too bad.

Well, since you asked, George, I do have some suggestions that might make your hypen a stronger image.

Don't get me wrong, I think it is a wonderful conceptual piece and I am so glad you posted it. Somehow, though, I'm not sure why, it doesn't elicit an emotional reponse in me (unless you count uncontrolled giggling and occasional laughing out loud). Without that - well, I'm not sure I can fully appreciate your work.

So here is my -2 cents worth.

First, for this work, I recommend a ramblin' hypen. I don't think that the placement of the hypen on the canvas is too important. Obviously you want to be sure it contrasts adequately with the background color and you don't want it hidden in the corners, but otherwise, it seems to me that you can move it around at will without ruining the impact.

The black and white conversion seems a bit flat to me. I'm wondering if the hypen doesn't need a little pop. You can get some great suggestions on how to do that in this tutorial (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2292454/1).

You might also want to experiment with hypen-heavy a la Gus. If the hypen gets big enough, you can add noise to give the work a true gf signature feel. (Of course, if gf has now become a hypen, that would be redundant.)

Have you tried oversharpening and oversaturating a color version of the hypen? Just a thought, but it might be interesting and give the hypen more of an emotional impact for the viewer.

Finally, consider reshooting with your fisheye lens. This would change the hypen to a grin.

Thanks for the post, George. It made my week.

Happy Holidays!

for those of you that would try to create your own hyphen, just use a dash of this and a dash of that-

[gefillmore]

:cry

sorry bernard-

all good things must end-

[gefillmore]

George, it's so, well... iconic! Can you post the exif, please?

thanks neil-

I really don't want to reveal all the secrets to the hyphen-

Merry Christmas everyone (and Happy Hanukkah, too) (and peace and good-will to all others)-

[jeffreaux2]

I think it is underexposed.....have you tried posting thius in the " finishing school" or:super " whipping post"? Just a thought. You might get a better response there.


Oh.....and....


Merry Christmas!:jose
