I don't remember the original inspiration, just that it took a lot of walking to find the right combo of flower and Sun angle to pull it off.

@jerzone @antoinnesterk Oooh, pleased at the possibility of there being more, I like them very much!

@eclectech @antoinnesterk
I took mine in 2024 after a mt bike accident left me with no other option but to walk all of the time. ":^)

[eclectech@things.uk]

@jerzone @antoinnesterk Ooof. Hope that is fully recovered now. Feels like quite a brutal way to end up with an excellent self portrait.

[markholmwood@mastodon.social]

@jerzone wonderful!

[eclectech@things.uk]

@antoinnesterk @jerzone I need a nice hashtag to follow to see them all. I am *definitely* going to be on the lookout for a suitable photo opp during my walks this spring and summer.

@eclectech @jerzone Well, the classic one is "Canyon de Chelley" by Lee Friedlander, right?

[eclectech@things.uk]

@Daniel_Pagenstecher @jerzone That's great, but the flowers for eyes are missing!

Nailed it.

@jerzone Hard Pan Labyrinth's Hand Man vibes here.
Love it.

@NSFVoyager2

Excellent. Thanks.

@jerzone The one I remember is this one that might be reddit OC? idk https://redd.it/v22ej3

Edit: it seems to be plausibly credited to Lasse Nilsson: https://lfi-online.de/en/gallery/Lasse-Nilsson/Selfie-1852227.html

[softicecreamlesley@famichiki.jp]

@jerzone I love this!

[jerzone@techhub.social]

@MHLoppy That's the one! I wasn't able to replicate that pose, the closest I got was this but the eyes were all wrong.

@eclectech @antoinnesterk

[itsmemariamarie@mastodon.social]

@jerzone nice!..

[pipercarter@mastodon.art]

@jerzone very cool and creative

[sellathechemist@mastodon.social]

@jerzone All that’s missing is a little dew to give you heiligenschein.

[sloanlance@mastodon.social]

@jerzone
Yes, I've seen a similar image recently. I think your photo has better "eye" spacing.

[sloanlance@mastodon.social]

@eclectech @jerzone
Yes! That's the one I saw recently.

[faith@chaosfem.tw]

@jerzone
Big C3-PO vibes!

[teflontrout@beige.party]

@jerzone worth the effort, that is pretty cool
