It's easier to see what it is once you see the whole scenery. It's a really clever framing, 10/10

[–] AToM_exe@lemmy.world 34 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Also colour saturation put to the max.

[–] verdigris@lemmy.ml 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not necessarily, just different lighting. OP looks like it was taken with low-angle full sunlight.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 7 points 8 months ago

This all sounds a bit overly complex, have we 100% ruled out witchcraft?

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 8 months ago

Oh, so that's a textured wall, and not the horizon/sky

[–] Comradesexual@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 8 months ago

Thank you for unfucking my brain.

I like this style, just don't know what it's called.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 62 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I can't speak for the photography style, but that style of using walls of ice in a composition is called "impossible in 30 years"

[–] spacecowboy@sh.itjust.works 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Haha! Oh, now I’m sad. :(

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Me too, buddy. Me too. :(

[–] Vash63@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's very optimistic of you to think humans will be around to have names for such things in 30 years.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Ah, sorry. Is "anti-hot apartment tower made from solid aqua cola and lacking residents" better?

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Checkers

[–] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

A tetraptych or pseudo-tetraptych maybe? Closest concept I can think of.

[–] frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 38 points 8 months ago

The upper right quadrant is a terracotta wall that goes right up to the water. Below that in the photo is the reflexion of the wall. The left half is just normal water with no reflexion.

It's a really interesting composition. I'm not a fan of these kinds of things being called "unaltered"/"unedited", because after a bit of searching I can't find any evidence of that. But it certainly is not a composite.

If it's shot on film, it's possible the saturation is natural, but I can't find metadata anywhere.

[–] Chriszz@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

was anyone else able to see the pic for what it is and then left confused looking for why it’s supposed to be confusing

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago (3 children)

How????

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

The bottom right is a reflection on the water of the wall at the top right.

[–] Rascabin@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

You must bend the spoon.

[–] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Man-made structure in the top right

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

Aaaaaaah ok

[–] MacStache@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago

Oh no.

[–] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 8 months ago

Somebody please explain

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world -5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

unaltered

🤔🤥

[–] soggy_kitty@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yep. It's literally cropped from the original and impossible to argue it's unaltered
