Only on TPF...

I like it, but i feel like being more submerged would have helped. Here it just looks like napping, instead of the "impending death by drowning" i get from the title.

Again...

How can you say what would have "helped" if you don't know what the artist was necessarily trying to portray?

The best we can do, as viewers, is say whether or not the shot meant something to us... connnected with us emotionally... or even if it was just "cool".

People around here spend so much damned time focusing on what someone should have done, as if there was some sort of pre-defined rule set for executing a vision when they don't even know what the vision was to begin with. "Clone out the black mark", "Submerge him more, he's only napping", "The lighting is all wrong", etc. Says who? Seriously.

This shot is creative, interesting, and makes you ask some questions. It is therefore better than 99% of the images posted on here, and we're telling the artist he should clone out a beauty mark?

Seriously.
