The pants look artificial, the hands and feet are really dark, you can't see the detail on the trees. Is this just a really hard angle to shoot, against the summer sky?
- pbronez 6y agolooks like a video game
- endgame 6y agoThe lack of definition in the arms, the sharp lighting and the absence of any sense of motion combine to make it look posed in garrysmod or something.
- leokennis 6y agoApart from that, it’s just not an aesthetically pleasing photo. Some dude in crocs?
- pantelisk 6y agosandals and socks. high fashion uses multiple sources. Sometimes its inspired by nature, sometimes scifi, sometimes its inspired by traditional internet cringe! Interesting pic. I think it tries to show the hdr, dynamic rage of shadows + cleanliness even though the person is in motion.
- ashtonkem 6y agoForget the fashion, it’s just not a very interesting image visually. It’s not very well composed, lit, or interesting.
- moogleii 6y agoIt's the Grand Theft Auto filter.
- hbosch 6y agoWide angle, no motion blur, is it HDR? I honestly don’t know myself.
- make3 6y agoit's very dynamic, the motion is interesting
- saagarjha 6y agoMaybe it was taken at night?
- mtzet 6y agoOn the other hand, there's pretty good shadow detail even against the bright sky.
- Twisell 6y agoHuge contrast, natural light only and focus on a fast moving subject, yeah definitively tricky (as for the artistic interest of the picture that's another story). The weirdness probably comes from the post treatment. But still impressive for a smartphone. The result (almost) look like something you could expect from RAW post treatment of a reflex camera take. Don't know if I'll go for the iPhone 12 Pro or a refurbished iPhone 11 Pro but for my amateur usage my mind is set. I wont replace my 10 years old reflex with a new one. Theses are "good enough" in most use cases and fit in my pocket.
- adwi 6y agoDynamic range, it’s pretty amazing the black are holding and highlights aren’t clipping.
