#38 possible idea ?

I have some funny oops scenarios in mind, but I'm not sure how I'll be able to realize them,
since I am a totally spontaneous type of shooter... :scratch

However, for now I was playing with street photos for an other assignment and accidentally,
I took this shot that I actually "almost" missed it.

Normally, I would have considered it a trash photo, but in this current context, I was thinking
to ask for your opinion...

- I adjusted it a little in PS to boost the colors and the visual effect:

"Almost missed it"

What do you think?

Bravo for being the first out of the gate. I'm still stumped, big time.

Ok for your shot--it's very cool and I dig the processing, however it's the processing IMO that does away with the "oops" element. It looks like an impressionist watercolor and there is nothing oops about it--it's very cool though.

I don't know--maybe others will see it different.
This is the longest since I"ve been participating that I've seen a category go this far without more prospects. Tatiana, you may win by default if no one else comes up with anything

.

Again very cool--don't know about the oops.

Thank you Liz. People here have great imagination so I don't think this will happen :lol

I do like the colors and treatment but just doesn't seem like an OOPS.

Well, I meant "oops" because of the wrong settings in the camera... and lack of focus...

I like it!
I didn't get the impression from reading the discription that this does not fit. In fact, it said it was open to interpretation.
Of course I generally stink at these challenges and I haven't been here for a very long time. So, where's your shovel of salt?
I really do like it tho, and if you won it wouldn't be by default.

As an art piece I love it! Your always good at that Tatianna. I do think it misses the theme though...if it was a little more obvious in your oops...like the image being at an angle....that might work. Try rotating the picture more??

BTW...I didn't think there was ever such a thing as 'trash' photos now a day....lol. Unless its completely black...I can make art out of anything I take!

I'm not sure about strength on theme, but I absolutely love this photo.

For me, I think the fact that the shot was indeed accidental trumps any "it doesn't look oops." That's just my personal take on it though, and it might be hard to judge that way. Tough theme indeed.

Thank you very much for the comments.

... and wow:
