It's easier to see what it is once you see the whole scenery. It's a really clever framing, 10/10

Also colour saturation put to the max.

Not necessarily, just different lighting. OP looks like it was taken with low-angle full sunlight.

This all sounds a bit overly complex, have we 100% ruled out witchcraft?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

Oh, so that's a textured wall, and not the horizon/sky

I like this style, just don't know what it's called.

I can't speak for the photography style, but that style of using walls of ice in a composition is called "impossible in 30 years"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Haha! Oh, now I’m sad. :(

[–] pivot_root 8 points 10 months ago

Me too, buddy. Me too. :(

[–] Vash63 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's very optimistic of you to think humans will be around to have names for such things in 30 years.

Ah, sorry. Is "anti-hot apartment tower made from solid aqua cola and lacking residents" better?

Checkers

Pete.

A tetraptych or pseudo-tetraptych maybe? Closest concept I can think of.

The upper right quadrant is a terracotta wall that goes right up to the water. Below that in the photo is the reflexion of the wall. The left half is just normal water with no reflexion.

It's a really interesting composition. I'm not a fan of these kinds of things being called "unaltered"/"unedited", because after a bit of searching I can't find any evidence of that. But it certainly is not a composite.

If it's shot on film, it's possible the saturation is natural, but I can't find metadata anywhere.

How????

[–] BradleyUffner 9 points 10 months ago

The bottom right is a reflection on the water of the wall at the top right.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

You must bend the spoon.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Man-made structure in the top right

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Aaaaaaah ok

[–] Chriszz 4 points 10 months ago

was anyone else able to see the pic for what it is and then left confused looking for why it’s supposed to be confusing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Oh no.

[–] Mr_Blott -4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

unaltered

🤔🤥

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yep. It's literally cropped from the original and impossible to argue it's unaltered
