2 Aug 25 Reply Thanks - that's encouraging. It was a "stop the car" kind of moment with some luck with the fisherman casting during the shoot. Aug 14th
2 Aug 25 Reply Fantastic edit! Aug 11th
2 Aug 25 Reply Great! I love the story, character and skills shown in this version. Aug 7th
2 Aug 25 Comment Very nice abstract result! The ovals in the mast and to the right add mystique and suspicion of ETOs! Also the lighting suggests location on another planet. Great composition. Aug 5th
2 Aug 25 Reply Hi Shirley. I found that after the crop the width came to < 800 pixels making it difficult to work on the small figure - persuading me to settle for a silhouette. However, I increased the pixels by 4x with Topaz Gigapixel to make it possible to work on the figure before going back to a smaller size for posting. Yes, there is a boy in a red shirt! Also I reduced shadows on the trees to the right. Aug 5th
2 Aug 25 Comment Superb portrait and story! I think what makes it are the colors - the complementary blue eye color and blends of orange and black are striking. The cigarette is small but powerful since he appears to be inhaling. Aug 4th
2 Aug 25 Comment Great shot and idea to make it a silhouette. I am obsessed by blown-out whites - but really it looks fine. Did you by chance take any when the sun had sunk lower? Aug 4th
2 Aug 25 Comment Very interesting - fascinating how the trees grow on the rocks - perhaps the roots are in contact with water. The image moves from left to right with three repeated but dissimilar caves. I like the way the water reflects the rocks. The light looks to be coming from behind you and quite late in the day - but wonder how it would look at sunset? Aug 4th
2 Aug 25 Reply Thanks. The wide angle included the dam wall and the fisherman and I was confined by the fence. That meant I could not move to my right to put the fisherman on a one third line - so in that sense it's not conventional composition. Aug 4th
