laying down Man on the moon (PLEASE VIEW LARGER)

Wow, Younes this is spectacular. The composition, the light, the weather... everything is fantastic. Kinda makes me homesick for eastern Ontario (of course, then I come to my senses).

This is brilliant! I love the tone, composition and how the crack leads you through the image. Excellent!

Thanks for your time.

Nice texture.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it. Ryan, we can switch any time, really :-D.

very well mastered!

like the tone too!

cheers

I'll consider it Younes, maybe... don't hold your breath. Out of curiousity, where was this taken? Almost looks too big to be the Ottawa River.

Wonderful B&W. Superb work. 7/7

It looks like you were somewhere where men can not go. Strange place, amazing mood, excellent photo. Karl

Yet another stunner from your work. I think the choice to render this scene in blue-toned monochrome is spot on, and you have a terrific range of tonality. I'm getting cold just looking at this.

Beautiful image. Wonderful composition. Nicely done. Dan

Very dramatic, nice toning, great composition with the ice crack running to the horizon.

Younes this is just incredible, what a shot! Fabulously toned and such and excellent composition. I am in awe! Very dynamic. I forgot to reply to your last email (how crap!) but yes to Morrocco without a doubt.

wonderful image with great tones...makes me want to go out and explore the world...regards....David

Stark and minimal ,suites the landscape very well, nice one !

I fully agree with all the positive comments on this image - amazing!

I've been staring at it for a while, I couldn't come out with much to say.....I guess sometimes you have to be content with just looking at something you like, and say nothing at all. Beauty may render you wordless.

WOW... Great b/w image, Younes! Beautiful tone and mood!

Younes... This is stunning. Nothing else to say about it. Gorgeous work as always.

fantastic work! I also appreciate very much that you explain that is a composite image.. the effect is very natural in any case..

A very nice picture indeed... It's quite flagrant that you purposely went a bit dark and "dull" in terms of contrasts on this one, right ? Probably because you wanted the print to feel "heavy" on our shoulders...? I'm posting here your original - at top, and a more contrasted version below, for the sake of the discussion. What do you think ?

Thanks Marc. In all honesty, I have already pushed the contrast quite a bit from the original, but didn't want to take away the dark, cold feeling of the scene. As far as your version goes, I think it looks great, but the difference is fairly minor to me :). btw, thanks so much for following up on my work, I really value your opinion!

Thanks for your reply, Younes. It's a pleasure for me to follow your work. As for the attached files, the main difference is in the central triangle, where I felt it would be good to see the water ripples and ice shadow details a little more. Regards.

fantastic, beautiful setting, beautiful rendering monochrome beautiful point shooting and the title that clearly expresses the feelings that you feel looking at this show ........ really appear to be on the moon !!!!!!! !

 

bravo
