Excellent

doglover		2013-02-04 12:00:02 AM

It's got some major problems if you wanna talk perfect.

It is however, a good shot.

Yeah. The guy feeding the swans should have been black.

/what?

SpaceyCat		2013-02-04 12:25:16 AM

That is an incredibly awesome shot. I love the contrast.

OtherBrotherDarryl		2013-02-04 12:29:52 AM

Why no boobies?

/I kid. Fantastic pic.

whidbey		2013-02-04 12:36:38 AM

It is cool, but perfect photograph? Nah, a little gimmicky.

I was actually more captivated by the second pic in TFA because it reminded me of an Oliver Stone movie.

Snow Swans, huh, only in Poland.
/awesome photo

Agreed. I thought this one was much better.

zekeburger		2013-02-04 05:15:01 AM

Sorry subby, but the perfect photo is one of Charlize Theron, Yvonne Strahovski, Kristen Bell, Alison Brie, and Lauren Graham naked together.

ybishop		2013-02-04 05:15:08 AM

No...this is the perfect picture.....

Archie Goodwin		2013-02-04 05:20:51 AM

It's like a farked up Escher painting.

gadian		2013-02-04 05:27:05 AM

I wish I could see it bigger. Did it pop for you guys?

SpdrJay		2013-02-04 05:27:50 AM

The photographer has pointy knees....

Gadzooks, somebody must have used a system of measurement when they made that print! Genius!

Sorry subby, this picture I took at my brother's wedding is the perfect photograph:

Panties aren't the greatest thing ever but they're right next to it.

Too bad the snow is so horribly underexposed.

It's a good photo, definitely. Perfect? No.

Right? I mean it's even got a much better picture right under it in the article.

You people seem to be missing the judges of it's "perfection" are random Facebook denizens. How many of them do you think honestly know a damn thing about good photography? Have you ever been on Facebook? It gets extremely ignorant extremely quickly.

KrispyKritter		2013-02-04 06:37:23 AM

beauty is in the eye of the bee holder. i do not find this pleasing to gaze upon. there is a meme photo we've seen on Fark, two lovely young girls in their underwear are in an embrace...this is pleasing to view.

dragonchild		2013-02-04 06:49:52 AM

It's hard for me to imagine a "perfect" photograph that doesn't include a perky set of plump boobies.

gadian		2013-02-04 06:52:54 AM

So, if it were a naked chick feeding the ducks?

sawzallz		2013-02-04 06:54:17 AM

It is a great photo. I will file it under the ever expanding folder titled 'why did I not think of that?'. That said, there is no such thing as a perfect photo. It is art. It is all a matter of perspective.

BullBearMS		2013-02-04 07:15:10 AM

Interesting composition, but the recent works that speak to me are Tom Hussey's Reflections series.

Much larger versions of each shot are on the artist's website.

looks like color to me

jso2897		2013-02-04 07:45:24 AM

No work of art can be "perfect" - and, as the Persian rug-weavers have known for a thousand years - if one was, it would suck.

untaken_name		2013-02-04 07:51:47 AM

Hey man, nice shot.

/Nice shot, man.

danielscissorhands		2013-02-04 07:58:39 AM

No, THIS is the perfect photograph!

pkellmey		2013-02-04 08:03:09 AM

You'd think if he put that much effort into a picture, it should at least not still be in black and white.

[i939.photobucket.com image 300x189]

thanks- couldn't find that myself and it'd be a shame not to post it.

Such a beautiful work there. The Pathos in the empty expressions, just the most compelling snap shot since their booking photos . . .

Have attended Soirées like that. Glad the details have faded over the ~~past few weeks~~ decades.
