Piranha plant in a tube

THAT IS BLASPHEMY. That picture does not look as random and cute as the one featured in this thread D:

(It doesn't use the sheer effect, but meh. I think that makes it look too flat.)


There is more to photography than just the amount of time spent in Photoshop. Those pictures on the DA profile are not very impressive at all, and are technically not more difficult to make than what I did, they just take more time.
I'll admit my picture ain't all that, but neither is the tubéd Pirahna Plant. I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's just a random picture - what's so special? And don't tell me it's only getting all this attention because Kieran liked it...

Ninjaprotect: Technically not more difficult? All you did was shear a picture, erase part of it and apply a transparent-to-black gradient! Nothing else!

I don't feel like getting into an argument about art, but the only extra things the DA guy did, was adding gradient transparency to the overlaying layers and black shadow blobs below sprites. Also did a few motion blur filters on moving objects.

The pictures he used are pretty bad ones too, and I doubt he shot them himself, though I can't really say anything about that I suppose.

edit: again, there is more to photography and art than the amount of time spent on it. A picture taken with a shutter time of 5 hours isn't automatically good either.

I understand that art isn't just about effort. Unfortunately, effort still sits pretty high with attainment. I just don't see what makes this picture any better than the others. It's a nice little picture, it just doesn't seem to deserve a front page and everyone drooling all over it.
Geez Demonsul calm down. Art doesn't have to be technically impressive or time-consuming to be considered nice. It's not a matter of who spends more time or how much manipulation you do, it's all about the end result. And I, for one, think the end result here is clever and looks very nice.

As for the front page, Kieran can do whatever he wants with his website.

Did anybody specifically say that what I made is better than anything else they'd ever seen?

This position I understand. It simply has something to do with Kieran and I being friends.

This position is retarded though. People decide on their own what they like and what they don't. Apparently this picture appeals to a lot of people, possibly because I put some effort into the composition of the original photo.

There is obviously put considerably more effort into the photography itself compared to the examples you gave, Demonsul. It's about finding the scene, getting the light right, and so on.

Besides, since when did art have to be original? Calling this unoriginal, effortless and inferior to a few examples you selected out of personal preference is just bashing and is unwanted here.
Seeing as nobody seems to share my viewpoints, I'm going to withdraw from this thread and end the discussion. I acted illogically in anger, anyway.
Heh. I liked this picture and first now was I told who kieran (Forgot how to spell it =S) really was. The other guy with alot of stuff in it weren't that good in my opinion.

Great job =). My deskop will now have a new image =D.

Err, jesus, that's not quite the point here. The point is getting a 16-bit image into a real-life picture, not transforming something 16-bit into something realistic. (Even though that image is epic...)

By the way, looks really good Rambowjo! #w{=)}
