graham john miles 0 Posted March 29, 2007 Quite a striking image that on my monitor gets a little extra sparkle by adjusting the highlight levels in Photoshop. Banding issue seems quite severe in the rock texture (just kidding). Link to comment
chip_cohen 0 Posted October 27, 2007 I must admit that I am disappointed that so many 'netters' continue to jump on this band wagon on a typical--and not spectacular-- WAVE shot. Compositionally, the shot has too much--it needs to be cropped. And as some have noticed--but it didn't stop you from gushing anyway--the man is NOT well placed for the composition of the shot. The fact is that there are many superior WAVE shots; and yes, even I have better WAVE shots. Yes; in BW and Sepia; and so on. I even have a better shot from this very same spot. Lots of others do to. What makes other shots, IMO, better? 1) composition; 2) focus on subject; 3)detail. This shot, IMO, is like eating the whole meal at the same time --with the waiter thrown in to boot. It is also true that this photo, IMO, lacks originality. It is also true that this very same spot--walking down into the WAVE from the back, S/SW side,has so many shots taken already that portions of the sandstone are wearing down from tripod marks. I know; I was there in August (again) and made sure I didn't leave tripod marks. Yes; the WAVE actually looks like this. But the brilliance lies in nature--not in any photographer. There is, IMO, no personal vision here--just the hand of God. Your opinion may differ. Link to comment
