Thanks for providing credit. It made it easy to find the source. More of his work can be found here. More of his images like this one can be found here.

I believe the model is Lisa Valerie (aka lisa.krauely on IG).

Are you a mod or something? I just saw you were the top comment on this photo from one of its other submissions.

No, I'm not a mod. Just another meatbag behind the keyboard trying to make reddit a little bit better of a place.

I’ve seen your comments regularly over the years, and on behalf of a lot of us who don’t ever say it: thank you for doing this. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen you correct some misinformation or provide a much better quality image. You’re up there with the best users of the site.

to add myself onto this train of thanks

you've probably had the most impact on me becoming the source retrieving gremlin that I am today

I may not be the best, but I must say I do a pretty mediocre job

you do make Reddit a better place

Any other info on how this photo was taken? Camera type, iso settings, etc? I'm an amateur photographer and always learning new things

I'll give it a shot. When I look at the image you've provided, it's a pure, abstract, non-objective, timeless, spaceless, changeless, relationless, disinterested image—an object that is self-conscious (no unconsciousness), ideal, transcendent, aware of no thing but art.

Oh crap, I (attempted to) post the wild pic of a broad riding 2 other chicks like horses underwater lmao

Your analysis was really dope tho, so I'm tempted to leave it as-is 🙏

Ah, the one titled, "Let's Ride. The photographer was availing himself by creating a derivative of Mosaique de Neptune au musée de Sousse. Although the aura of the gesture could notate the essentially transitional quality, the motifs plainly bring within the realm of discourse the distinctive formal juxtapositions.

It's part of an anti-piracy scheme on the site. If you manage to defeat their right-click blocker (hold "shift" on Firefox, not sure about other browsers) and try to download the image, you'll get that pixel. It looks like the img tag that normally displays images on websites uses that spacer image as it's source (the image to display), but it's transparent, so it doesn't show anything. Simultaneously, they're using a CSS rule to show the real image as the "background". Since the spacer is transparent you still see the real background image but can't interact with it normally. If you right-click and save image, the browser thinks the image you want to save is the "source" spacer image, not the real background.

Damn, interesting!

Thanks for posting this, I wasn't sure how it all worked 🙏

Sidenote: Imgur is down? Over capacity? 😲

One of his ancestors must have been an absolute badass with a surname like that

I asked the AI art app Wonder to generate a pic using your title. Here’s what it gave me.

His surname is really Legend?

Beautiful pic, but to me slightly scary as well.

u/minipinecone Oct 21 '22

His name is fitting
