sfdgs 0 Posted June 21, 2007 Great symbolism, Richard. To be pulled from all directions, yet remaining strong and not breaking. In a literal sense, it can save your life when climbing. Very well composed and the exposure is great. Link to comment
JohnMWright 1 Posted June 21, 2007 Excellent interpretation of strength Richard. Simple composition, great technique. The image plus the title make the point very clear. I'm not a technical climber - just a hiker - but I've watched people do it and the pucker-factor is quite high. Link to comment
kellen1 0 Posted June 22, 2007 We used to call these clips "carribeaners" in the tree work field, I imagine that you climb much bigger things with them! I like clean & classic shots like this and I am sure that any climbing enthusiast would love this for its straightforward charm. Link to comment
Jebamony 3 Posted June 22, 2007 Richard, very creative indeed. I just love the details and colours. Above all, the title is just perfect. J3 Link to comment
jan_piller 0 Posted June 22, 2007 Yay Richard! You done it! You done it good! The colour and focus and composition of the ropes and caribeaner is great! Boy - strength for sure! Very cool shot! So is everybody uploading tonight? Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted June 22, 2007 Great combination of literal symbolism and abstract design. The composition carries me out of the frame to imagine what is being held by the strength of this device. Link to comment
owp 0 Posted June 22, 2007 Richard, as a climber myself, I can appreciate this. I thought of taking a picture of my rope to express strength. I went in a very different direction though. I'll upload soon. Regards, Oliver Link to comment
mvisionphotography 0 Posted June 22, 2007 WOW! ~ the blues and reds and yellows are so clear and sharp. This is a great photo of STRENGTH and it better be strong! Very well done! Link to comment
rogerleekam 0 Posted June 22, 2007 Says it all, Rich. Three different types of life preserving material here. Great idea and composition. Link to comment
lbattjes 0 Posted June 22, 2007 Excellent idea, Richard. Very simple and clean and bold. I love the colors and composition. Great representation of Strength. Link to comment
antanas.strazdas 0 Posted June 22, 2007 Perfect composition, exposure and splendid idea, best regards. Link to comment
lchartier 0 Posted June 22, 2007 This should be an Ad!!! Technically wonderful and spot on for Strength. I love that you went a whole different way with this. - Lyndsay Link to comment
dennis jones 0 Posted June 22, 2007 Just to watch climbers going up El Capitan gives me the PF of about 10... Now, repelling, only about a 1 or 2....Great mechanical interpretation of the assignment that was well met. Technically, not much here to pick on....I'd like to see this tack sharp, but that's just me. Did you use any form of sharpening here?Another assignment done well. This weeks bunch on the whole has been awesome....~~Gray Beard Link to comment
lbattjes 0 Posted June 22, 2007 Okay, clue a girl in...what's "pucker factor"? Both Dennis and John mentioned it. Help!!! Link to comment
gerfoy3 0 Posted June 22, 2007 Excellent Contrast of colours. Like the different angles. The light is nice and there are good details on the ropes. Good take on the title. Ger.. Link to comment
steve lamplugh 0 Posted June 22, 2007 What a terrific symbol of strength. To think that human's hang from mountains held only by the apparatus shown here, is mind boggling. Nicely done too. Link to comment
lbattjes 0 Posted June 23, 2007 ewwwwww! Thanks for that...not! Now I'll have that in my head all night...sheesh! ;-p Link to comment
dee 14 0 Posted June 23, 2007 Richard I was really looking forward to see what you would come up with for this weeks title (being as you mostly do Landscapes) You did not disapoint. It is a well concieved and beautifully created image. I do agree that I would love to have seen it VERY sharp. Great job! Link to comment
dennis jones 0 Posted June 23, 2007 The PF is the scarry things that will tighten the cheeks of one's buttocks soooooooo tight, you can hang on to a cliff WITHOUT the ropes........your butt will keep you there.... Link to comment
leannasreflections 0 Posted June 23, 2007 I know its been said and that is what I get for being late...Love the vivid colors w/black backgound. And yes this does represent STRENGTH very well. Good job. Leanna;o0 Link to comment
mmene 0 Posted June 23, 2007 Very good capture and composition, with excellent colors and details. I can understand very well the meaning of this image as a sailor that I am. Link to comment
