About the Image(s)

December has been very busy with holidays and us selling our house. So this entry is a simple one.

Our supermarket had a big sale on canned soups. So I stacked them all up on a shelf and decided there had to be a somewhat funny image there. The cooks are from my travel files. Using layer mask I placed the cooks on top of the soup cans and made them somewhat transparent.

Happy New Year everyone.

Aavo, It may be a "simple one "but it is very successful. Even in the small icon I could tell you are on to something. This kind of idea is worth spending more time developing and trying other versions as it is very powerful.   Posted: 01/09/2022 11:56:22

I think this image really works. Distorting the cans makes them feel like graphic elements, so much more than just cans. There's a sense of movement with the orientation of the labels being a bit random rather than all exactly facing the viewer.
I like your addition of the chefs, especially the one on the right. I like the way his hand comes in front of the next column of cans and then the knife slices down to the soup below.
I agree with Brad, it would be great to see variations on this theme.

Happy new year, Aavo!

Hi Aavo, this is a successful image that really enjoy. There is nothing wrong with making a simple image, what it counts is the results and for me this is a good one.
I like the idea of placing the cookers on top of the soup cans, and for me the one on the right transmits the feeling perfectly.
My only suggestion is that it would happen if you played a little with the image and for example make the faces of the cookers a little less transparent.
Overall I have to congratulate for the idea and the image. Well done.
