Description


"Agony" From the series "Moods" Date of this photo: May 18, 2003
"Agony" is another of these photos not uploaded when I took it, as were "4u again" or "Respect to the Sea", because when I took these photos, despite I like them, I thought they would be a fail in the gallery. Now I'm uploading it because, finally, the bad comments don't worry me. This photo, as all the others, isn't cropped and other upload like "Dance of Death". Let me know your opinion and let me explain why I like this photo: The combination of cropping, DOF, light and color are tense, and this tension is increased by the partial vision of the mouth of the fish on the left and the level of the water, without air

OK Enax I will probably take a pounding for this one, but seeing as you asked I will try to relate to you my thoughts and feelings here. My eye is immediately drawn to the open mouths of these fish, and then to the eyes, and then I notice the dirty tank. The open mouths to me suggest these fish are "gasping for air"so and the dirty tank re-enforces that feeling. The eyes... ah yes, is there panic in those eyes? Desparately seeking air? This image while it is a very powerful image, makes me feel a bit clausterphobic. If this is even remotely close to the feel you were trying to portray, you succeeded here IMO. Still not sure if I love it, but it is very powerful, that I will give you. :)

I think you've captured such an amazing shot here! The photo definitely has that feel of agony to it, and I can't help but have sympathy for those little fish. Never be apprehensive about posting work because there are no good or bad artists...there's just artists, each with their unique style. :) Awesome photo!

Never before I have identified with a little fish, but it is easily done here. I can feel the agony in my body. Don't know why you expect bad comments, I think this is just as powerful as your photos use to be. Love the colors!

i don't feel the agony, unless you put it in my head with the title... maybe they just want to kiss you :] muah!!!

I don't get the feel of agony as much I get a sense of panic from them, maybe it's in the eyes, maybe it's that I don't associate drowning as agonizing. It's a great shot though...I do hope that they aren't really suffering ;)

As always great photography. But i think the meaning of the photo depends on whos' eyes are upon it. I dont see 'agony' just fish and a small tank trying to watch you take this photo of them.

it feels like if they had arms and hands, they'd be knocking on the glass and screaming "let me out!!" and i agree with Masema, it feel more like panic and horror than agony. fantastic image, thoguh! only you can take a picture of fish and make us feel like they need to get out of the water and take a breath of fresh air. :)

It could be the picture of two persons looking out the window of a tall, glass-and-steel building at night, at the greenish light of the street lamps. A similar trap. Yes, it's Agony. Very well done.

First I don't see how anyone could put bad comments on your work because it's brilliant, as is this piece. I love the damaged look as though you scratched the negative. I feel as though they are in agony...gasping for their last breath. Impressive as always!

Indeed a tense shot! The discomfort is apparent to me by their wide opened mouths, A bit scary indeed!

Being trapped in a dirty tank... a sad situation. Their wide open eyes and mouths... It is agony! Scary but great shot, Francesc!

An interesting photo. But my first thought was not of agony, but of 'hunger'. Seems like all animal life is constantly searching for food. Their mouths are wide open as if waiting to be fed.
