Description
I know this is just cracked mud, a subject photographers wore out long before I got here, but I get mesmerized by this stuff. I like finding order in chaos.The color is from the unfiltered slide film picking up the cool evening light.
Mamiya C220, Provia

My impression.. (I know its mud) is of a metallic feel to the pieces, almost a chrome
look. Very cool. Now imagine an image reflected in all or some of the pieces.
That would be really cool.

I look at this and I immediately thought of A Bugs Life from that part when everyone scattered for their lives and yelling ahhhhhhhhh from the bird...
but if no one has no idea what I'm talking about then--this is an awesome photo!

I like this better than most because of the color! Also gives me a childish urge to put those pieces on a pan and tell my mom I made her brownies. XD

Cracked mud may be played out, but that doesn't mean this is any less of a great capture! I didn't even know it was mud without reading the title!
This is a great photo! I am mesmerized by it as well!

The texture and the color of this is quite amazing. At first, when seeing the thumbnail I thought it was cracked ice, to be honest.

It's either cracked mud or my friend's scalp under a microscope...

Cracked mud? It looks like cracked porcelain that's arranged so it fits together, so beautiful and abstract is your piece. Congrats on the DD^^

What I really like about this is from my 3d background in looking at the naturally forming hard and beveled edges. Something artists have tried to replicate as long as I can remember. The details of straight striated cracking in surfaces as well as dirt and moisture are hypnotizing for a professional. For me its like trying to read how someone made a texture for something at a loss.
The smooth curves are wonderful as well as the crisp details. Its fractal on several levels but natural at the same time. Nature is something we artists are always trying to recreate. If I ever come on this seed value I hope I can remember this piece to give credit.
wonderful piece!

The cool thing about this piece is you don't know what it is at first. I was like..."What? Is that cracked glass or...what?" So you just HAVE to see it to find out, lol. Nice job and congrats on the DD, you deserve it!

It's never about how worn out a subject is; it's rather how you capture it.
I like the natural blue and the sharpness here. Good work!

What a great version of it!
Is it really that color?

The mud was actually a blah gray color but the late evening light causes slide film to take on a blue color.

If I could, I would favorite this more than once!
I like the color!
