I've selected the above photo for the POW. When I was taking this photo, I tried to eliminate negative space between the hats in order to disguise their appearance. In a situation where similarly colored objects are grouped together, it's the negative space that defines the shapes of the individual objects in the group. When that negative space is eliminated, it is harder to recognize the individual objects. In addition, in order to make the colors of the hats similar, I decreased the overall contrast in the photo. When I did this, the lines of each hat became grey and the five hats in the frame seemed to turn into one big blob. Some people have commented for this photo that it was hard to figure out exactly what they were looking at.
I used the vsco cam app with the Iphone 5s to post-process the photo and only edited the image with my phone.
