Love love love the travel photos. For one thing, the perspective is never off, just even more impressive because of the size. Curiously, tho Wiishu travels with me all the time, I have very few of him like this. Maybe because we haven't gone to the Big Vista places since he arrived. Must do something about that! Meanwhile, I love this one. even sans faceup, he looks to me like he could step out of the photo.
Ooo...this is interesting. As soon as I posted the above, I realized, I have taken pix of Wiishu and Pook in the great outdoors, most recently at Devil's Tower. I went and looked and realized that Reality for Wiishu is that he's a very liddow guy in a great big world. That's the reality I like to catch.
One of my favourite realistic travel photos - taken in northern Newfoundland, watching the ice bergs drifting by.... ...and checking out the lobsters in Twillingate...
To answer Vindalootoo (hi! Been awhile!), I personally consider a pic realistic if it can, at a glance, be possibly mistaken for a real person or situation, or it makes the viewer think, "Wow, that almost looks alive!" But what that means will vary from person to person. This is Analei and one of the few times I've ever removed the joint lines. While I don't think someone may believe she's real, I think there's a warmth, an aliveness, to her:
I think that this scene of Sophia and Lanelle in Sophia's studio is sufficiently realistic to count. Artist by tomb202, on Flickr
