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.)

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Oh you bastard hahaha

I only came back here for the reply for my comment

[–] XM34@feddit.org 40 points 2 months ago

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

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 16 points 2 months ago

Lmfao it is loss

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

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

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

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months 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

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

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 2 months ago

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

[–] don@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

But it’s so much more

[–] xspurnx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

Emo album cover vibes.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

The photo is good.

It was lost, it seems

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 13 points 2 months ago

This is loss

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

Ce n'est pas une perte

[–] Alpeamoh@lemmynsfw.com -1 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 2 months ago

Would you say, maybe, the illusion was lost?

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

Ok, congrats?
