Guys,

I cant get this photo accepted, I need some tips. I went with this concept because people agreed it could have potential.

The antique version I submitted first was rejected for rough edges and noise. So I cleaned it up and then it was rejected in the B&W version for Composition--Limited commercial value due to framing, cropping, and/or composition.

What can I do to get this through? I dont want to change too much, because then the concept is lost. Maybe I just need to let it go?


I think this is a piece of art! At first glance I could not note the trick you did. Anyway I don't think this is stock. I see this framed in a wall.

try doing the complete rubin vase maybe. When you look at the month, the brains perceives two face facing each other, then as you move up see the eyes and the effect changes.


This one is even freakier!

This image reminds me of those decals which utilizes optical illusion. One time he looks like a profile and another the next. Very creative.

This a photo after an idea of Erwin Blumenfeld. I gave it my own touch tho.

Thanks for all the comments and extra idea. Great stuff

Right, this is based on the Rubin Vase but didnt copy the exact idea. I made it more like the Rorschach test.

Kind of like a splitting head...

I have one kind of like that (certainly will be familiar to you, Laurin). I should do more of them.





My other twins are real ones. This is the best-selling one (don't know why, the ones below are much prettier):

I've got two 8 year old identical twin nephews with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (there are very few cases). Would there be a place for stock pictures of them? I don't see much here for muscular dystrophy. Is it too negative of a subject?

Planking was a fad that lasted all of 5 minutes and thankfully went away again.
