Do they have teletubbies in your country?
Posted 35 months ago. ( permalink )

Yes, we have teletubbies, but I've never watched it (my son will be 22 in a few weeks . . . ). The sky was just great for this pic -- same color as the balls, almost.

I find this pic to be good in terms of color of the grass, ball and the sky and the composition..however i feel that this lacks the wow factor..
the element of interest is missing. .. I cannot make out if the balls are placed externally or they are actually there before the shot was taken. questions come to my mind.. and i seek to find an answer as to what is the actual size of the ball. Its confusing a bit.

mythlady says:

Thank you, tryingtolearn and HappyHorizons, for your critiques -- I'm not sure what you mean by the balls being placed externally -- they are part of an art installation in a park (there are actually four balls, rolling down the hill) and they're quite big. I'm not sure how to convey their size, though -- I'll have to think about that, when I make another pic of them.

"People" make good conveyors of size.

mythlady says:

I agree -- but I wanted to try just the balls first . . . kind of abstract

Surreal! Looks like something from The Prisoner. (See www.retroweb.com/prisoner.html, for example.)

Thank you all -- this odd little picture has gotten so much attention . . .

chrisb0109 says:

I like the image alot. I am always drawn to these surrealistic shots. However, after the initial interest, I agree that it is missing some sort of wow factor. Perhaps a different perspective would give a more lasting impact, something colser to one of the ball to make it look more ominous.
