michaelging Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I agree, the second one if you had left the feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdunker Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 The first one. It looks like they are "dawning" right out of the sand. And...as stated, the horizon in the second... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert_m_johnson Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Travis, I can remember some of your first posts here. Have you gone full circle photographically? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis1 Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 maybe I should put a bubble level on my p&s? actually I agree with what's said on 2. Saw the man walking in and quickly stretch out the digicam. Too far from me(the cam) to see the horizon. 1st shot had more time to frame though.

ray . Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 How can it be 'Dawn of Man' with ships in the background? ;) I find the 1st to be something to look at, the 2nd is nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis1 Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 Ray, I know the ship thing would come in... I was hoping no one saw them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakley Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I like the first also. If you cropped the second one vertically, with the figure a little to right of center, I might like that best of all. The footprints are really good; the figure just seems to have a little too much "room". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen Herbert Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Of couse we could argue that the second photo emphasis the symbolic relationship between man and his enviroment. The ships and slopping horizon just adding to the general impact of the image along with the missing toes. The whole image staging a story about how little mankinds impact is on the earth. In a very brief moment in time all is washed away along with mankinds machinations. Keep doing your own thing,Travis. Let others worry about toes and such stuff.

vivek iyer Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Right, it is the spin that is lacking and not the ever absent clarity and the blotchy B&W wannabe images. Throw away any compositional elements as well and what is left of it? You are full of hatred, Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Herbert Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 what is left of it? Nothing you would understand. You are full of hatred, Allen. Have a long hard close look at yourself, Vivek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivek iyer Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 You see, Allen, that is difficult. Capacity to do anything, if it is absent would make that a futile exercise. I am with Robert M. Johnson. I think he means well and me too. If it does not fit, Travis can please ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karim Ghantous Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I wish this forum had a button that says "Report this post to a moderator". I wish folks would stop creating bad energy around here. Leaves a nasty taste in my mouth and keeps the girls away. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
