Arno Skull

Arno ScullI assume the title of this photograph refers to the Arno River in Tuscany.  Not that that makes any difference to the subject as photographed.  Generally where and when an image was photographed is of little importance.  The image has to stand on its own without detail explanation.

I like the graphics in this photograph.  It is breaking one of the rules; you should leave room for the subject to move into.  In this image the photographer as selected placing the front of the skull close to the bottom frame and allowing us to see the trail of paddle ripples left in the wake of the moving boat. 

This appears to have been photographed on an overcast day.  I would like to recommend to the photo-artist that they do some color and contrast manipulation on the computer to give this illustration more punch and snap.  You may want to take a look at the Darrel Priebe web site ‘Dazzling Photography’.  He has good step by step instructions for Photoshop users.  There is a link to his site on the right side of this page under ‘Sites of Interest’.
