Wonderful work Ben - it can be interpreted in so many ways!!

Biliana 2 years ago

Love this one dear Ben :)) what a great interpretation of this sometimes conversation of deaf people :((( this World and all those humans are not hearing themselves, but only speaking nonsenses uf uf uf o la la :)))

Ben Goossens Thanks, dear Biliana:-)
The world is full of nonsenses talk.

Biliana Yes dear Ben ... too many nonsenses in this 21st century :((( and too many misunderstandings among Human beings :( well ... hope one day Humans will talk wisely :)))

Phyllis Clarke 2 years ago

Do I like it? No! I love it. :) This shows how you can take just a few very interesting objects - place them in an ordinary background and create a surreal piece of fabulous art! Of course your work is so technically perfect - it keeps one focused on the rest of your creativity! Congrats to you Ben ..so well deserved. My best Phyllis

Ben Goossens Thanks Phyllis:-))

Perfect is not of this world, but I try!!!!

When I saw this figure, I made about 50 shots from it some time ago, because I know already it would inspire me to create this image... just shooting the wright fitting background later.

An "indifferent" figure with load speakers: as crazy as the image.

Friendly regards,
Ben

Siavash 2 years ago

I think the sky in the background and the sky reflex in load speaker are a bit different.was it on purpose?

Ben Goossens Yes Siavash,
it was on purpose!! I used 2 skies, where from one with lighter part, so it connect the two load speakers.

I often use an other sky on overlay, to created more a more dynamic one, not "natural" but stronger and dynamic in my opinion.

I think, this is permitted in "Creative Edit"

Siavash of coarse it is :)

Boedi Wiyarno 2 years ago

Andre du Plessis 2 years ago

So suggestive of many of the Forum conversations:) Good work Ben!

Ben Goossens Thanks Andre:-))
...also indeed, sometimes "loud" discussions with no solution or agreement... that's what I meant with this image.

Bert Hanekamp 2 years ago

Prachtig Ben!!

Ben Goossens Thanks a lot, Bert:-)

John Parminter 2 years ago

I don't understand it but I like it, simply a visual pleasure without having to know any meaning or intent.

JP

Ben Goossens Thanks John :-))
I tried to symbolize, how some people shout at each other, without a positive solution at the end... probably, you know some !?

John Parminter I can understand your intent Ben and it is very clear when you mention it. I tend not to look too deep into things when viewing images and can appreciate all sorts purely on the visual level. I think yours add another dimension over the visual.

Ben
jouw creaties vragen wel wat aanpassen, ik was die stijl helemaal niet gewoon maar vind ze leuker en leuker door er meer en meer naar te kijken, ze spreken mij nu echt aan. Eigenlijk vereist dit enorme verbeeldingskracht van jou.
In één woord zeer mooi

Ben Goossens Thanks Luc:-)
Ja het is even wennen, zelfs voor mij!!!
Als ik die "man"zag staan, begon mijn creative molen te werken.

I think 2 is enough, to explain how some people discus, have a debate without agreement, f.e politicians, etc.. (It can happen at home to.)
