AnimalsKherson winter by Stanislav OdyagailoTuesday, October 13, 2009 by kchungTitle: Kherson winter What I Like About It: 1. The looks on the penguins' faces. 2. The seamless blending and splicing of photos into one image. 3. The way watermelon was integrated into the picture. 4. The little fish attached to the penguin on the right's hand by a string. Origami Tea Bags by Natalia PonomarevaWednesday, October 07, 2009 by kchungTitle: Origami Tea Bags What I Like About It: 1. The simple and minimalistic product packaging. 2. The fact that the tea bag can fit into the small packaging and starts out compact. 3. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the tea bag is shaped like a friggin bird!

Lions Head to Head by Nick BrandtWednesday, September 30, 2009 by kchungTitle: Lions Head to Head What I Like About It: This is a great photo of two lions sharing an intimate moment. You rarely get to see wild animals in a moment like this, but thanks to Nick, we all get the chance to see it. Some things I like about this photo are the use of black and white, which helps you to focus on the subjects and not the colors of the photographs and the composition of the photo. The lions' heads meet slightly off the middle which creates a more interesting photo, and they were cropped so that they are the sole focus of the photo. Deep Blue by Saatchi & SaatchiTuesday, September 01, 2009 by kchungTitle: Deep Blue What I Like About It: Although this Quicksilver advertisement by Saatchi & Saatchi is not the most creative or clever one I've seen, I'm still oddly fond of it. It might be the way they turned a common pair of jeans into a scary looking sea creature, or the mysterious nature of the creation. I'm not quite sure. Either way, this campaign was successful in grabbing my attention, and isn't that all the advertisers want anyways? Stillness in Motion by Don BairdMonday, August 31, 2009 by kchungTitle: Stillness in Motion What I Like About It: Anyone who has tried to take pictures of animals in action will know what an opportune and great picture this is. A few factors have to come into play to get this picture. First, you must have the right settings to make sure you have a crisp and clear photo. You must also capture it at the right camera settings. Lastly, and most importantly, you have to notice the moment before it happens so you can set up for the photo. Photos like this take some time, practice, and luck to get it all right. SNAIL ANATOMY by Ken Liang (funnydoodle)Saturday, August 22, 2009 by kchungTitle: SNAIL ANATOMY Notes from the Artist: This one is made for a print/poster job. Modeled in XSI, textures done in Photoshop. Several passes were rendered separately and composited in digital fusion. Hope you all like it! What I Like About It: This is an incredible 3D rendering of a snail by funnydoodle of Deviant Art. The mount of detail put into this piece is truly exceptional. It's as if he actually took a snail and cut it in half while preserving tall the organs and internal parts. I'm not sure how accurate this is, but either way, it feels like this snail was a living breathing thing. The texturing on this model is also very good. I'm not sure if you could have made this rendering any more realisitic. Yacare by kunthaFriday, June 12, 2009 by kchungTitle: Yacare What I Like About It: This is one of the best captures of nature in action that I have seen. The photograph is extremely well exposed, especially for an action shot. The dark color of the water contrasts nicely with the crocodiles mouth, and the focus is clearly on the subject as the everything else recedes in the background. Anthony Harmon Photo ManipulationTuesday, June 02, 2009 by kchungTitle: Unknown Title What I Like About It: Although this is a photo manipulation, it could very well have been a photograph. The blending of all the different photographic elements create a seamlessly blended picture. It feels as if you were witnessing these soldiers marching off to war first hand. The Power of Red by Huang ChengSaturday, May 30, 2009 by kchungTitle: The Power of Red What I Like About It: The woman's pose is static and graceful, and the phoenix further personifies a sense of grace and tranquility. The pheonix also represents strength and power as it soars above the diver. Each thread from the Phoenix was drawn individually which makes this piece even more amazing. |
