Description
My entry for this contest: [link]And again, my watch does in fact tell the time backwards. Or at least it did. When it used to, you know, actually tell the time.
I wouldn't be drenching it in my bathtub if it still worked
EDIT: Made it black and white, I hope that's allowed. I think the contrast looks way cooler now, and the water is more pronounced, where as before it was drowned by the white tub in the background.
I was inspired to make it black and white by this photo: [link] You should really check it out, it's great.

The movement that you capture with this is well done, so I wouldn't worry about making it vivid or colorful... sepia is perfect. Also, there's most definitely a metaphor in this... somewhere.

Thank you O: I love the way you post thoughtful comments on my work, it means a lot. Now I need to find the metaphor...

If you need any help finding it, I think I have my analogy detector somewhere around here.

It's probably something like how time is fluid, and never stops rushing by, so you should make the most of everything.

Or perhaps that time is kind of like a river, put something in it and you change its flow, but it goes so fast you can never understand how exactly the flow will change anyway... you can just examine what the flow looks like at the moment and try to gauge what will happen next. The present is a still frame.

Thanks. It doesn't need a concrete metaphor, though, to be interesting. You could put this in a gallery.

Maybe I'll get a print of it for my school's art show next year o:

Definitely, or even ask some of the local coffee shops if they'd like to put up your photography... that's what some of my friends and I have done... of course, coffee shops around here tend to be artsier than your average caffeine hut.

I wish we had a nice coffee shop near where I live, that would be a good idea.

What, you have unlocked church steeples and theme parks but no good coffee joints?

Well you'll find somewhere awesome to show your work, I wouldn't worry.

I'd like to see how this looked frozen like that. o3o

Frozen like in ice? o: That would be really cool! I wonder how I might be able to do that...

Yeah, it would be very hard to suspend water like that and freeze it. XD Good luck.

Thanks, I'll need it ;D
What do you think of the black and white, that I just changed it to? Does it make the water pop more? I think it does.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It brings out the shadows, so I would think it pops more. I'm not very good to ask though, as I am light sensitive and my monitor is kept on like, brightness 20.
I like the feel of it though. Kind of enhances the rewinding feel...like an antique photo if you get what I mean.
