Beautiful image! I'm at a loss for words.

πŸ‘πŸ» you win

(I was a bit afraid that nobody would notice, but of course lemmy is never gonna give me up, never gonna let me down.)

There used to be (ok there probably still is but dead to me) a reddit sub called quadrant or something that was all photos like this, but the image quality was generally better. This one looks a bit lossy.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Lmfao it is loss

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

I'm pretty sure this is the image that started that entire sub. That's how old it is.

Water. Earth. Fire(d Bricks). Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony...

Emo album cover vibes.

A master class in framing/frame composition, in a single photo.

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I read all the comments and I'm 30% sure what is even going on

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah well that's 30% more than me. I'm at a complete loss, but I don't know why that's so funny. By now I'm too afraid to ask...

Ok. Guess I'm too old for this kind of humor. Thanks to the spoiler though :)

There was (probably still is but I don't visit anymore) a subreddit for this style of photo /r/quadrants

I wonder if there's one on lemmy

Yes, I had joined that one too back in my reddit days. All the pictures were great, not very frequent but great.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Pffff nice try but it's pretty clear that sailboat doesn't give a fuck about that motorboat

[–] don@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

But it’s so much more

The photo is good.

It was lost, it seems

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 13 points 3 days ago

This is loss

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Ce n'est pas une perte

[–] Alpeamoh@lemmynsfw.com -1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This is one photo that looks like four out of which none are a meme, nor is the composition of them. Sad post

[–] f314@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago

If you can’t see it, then that is your loss πŸ˜‰

I'm at a loss for words.

[–] baggins@lemmy.ca -5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

I can tell. It looks like it's one photo.

The misaligned horizon and shadows peeking out pretty much instantly shatter the attempted illusion.

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Would you say, maybe, the illusion was lost?

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I’m just here to enjoy good art. I just wiped your opinion off of it first, before I stood back and looked and it and thought it was well done.

[–] baggins@lemmy.ca -4 points 3 days ago

Ok, congrats?
