A few years ago, we featured Spanish photographer Chema Madoz and his surreal, black and white photos. Born in 1958, and with several collections to his name, Madoz is famously coy about his pictures' aim, even when asked directly:
"The fact is that I don’t give any thought to the reaction they’ll cause in the viewer," Madoz told Bookstyle. "I look for images that move me and touch me, that make me feel that I’m doing something different which I wasn’t aware of. I want to be able to stand in front of my pictures and feel that I can communicate with them. If a picture says something to me, I feel confident that there may be other people who will experience the same thing."

Well spotted, I love looking at wood as there is always a pattern hiding somewhere.
To those complaining about Photoshop, no one said this was straight photography (look again at the tree in the cloud). The point is to make a thought provoking picture!
To ppl calling photoshop: There's no need to use photoshop for an effect like this
photo shop ? maybe NOT. If you start with a clean surface. Then took a fine tipped paint brush, and painted the perimeter of a puzzle piece shape. Then oh so carefully filled the design with water from an eye dropper... guessing the water would not run past the perimeter. and viola, you have a puzzle shaped "rain drop".
most likely its not even photoshop - it might be, but it would be a lot more likely that the photographer saw a puddle of drops that looked a bit like a puzzle piece and decided to shape it
I estimate the odds of such as natural occurrence as greater-than-impossible and less-than-infinitesimal.
first of all, most of these are not natural occurrences. I actually dont think a single one is. Photos are allowed to be staged. It might be photoshopped, which is absolutely valid and still real photography?? Photoshop takes a lot of skill, and you need to edit photos for them to be black/white in the first place. Or maybe he just sat down and literally shaped a drop into a puzzle piece?

I agree with tamra, even if it is photoshopped it still takes great skill to do something like this and i honestly doubt if you, Maisy, could do this.
Pretty clever, because in german vocabulary a bulb and a pear share their noun.
I see unlocked potential, or the destruction involved in the creative process. Part of building is tearing down. As a literal interpretation, if the records never get played/the cymbals never get hit, we'll never know the sounds they make. Consequently, they'll break. There's irony there too, impermanence vs. breaking records (literally and figuratively). #JustSpitballing #ILoveArt #BreakRecords
