nature reflections Sunflowers-Ocean

Hmm. Another entry in the "sea of sunflowers beneath Armageddon-like sky" category. This looks too much like a stock photo used in one of those framed motivational posters. It's pretty, though.

For someone who can be a bit harsh on photographs, I have not seen anything better coming from your work. However, I do agree its a very pretty shot.Colors are very nice and saturating. Velvia at its best.

To me, this photo is very good in many ways.

However, I am wondering about the upper part of the sky looks dark (on my laptop sceen), compared to flowers and the field which gave me some sense of not quite natural. I understand what I'm saying may be subjective.

Congrats.

Even sunflowers dream of nuclear war.

Very nice. Well composed with two Sun flowers on the left edge to balance the hill on the horizon on the right. Didn't check it but it seems the classical division of 1/3rd sky 2/3rd earth.

Quite unreal - lovely. The colors clash a bit, tho.

Nice contrasty and saturated image. I must confess that I kind of like the sureal colors. When I saw it, I inquired myself Velvia + what?! Well done.

I love it! The colours are super. It is a little surreal but it's a great shot. I think the first comment a little harsh.

great scene. very good colors. clever exposure.

you are invited to see and comment my work on htp://go.to/oy

Hi Joseph. You know we`ve got hier on Earth some "seas of sunflowers" and "Armageddon-like skies" - sorry. The Nature itself is not kitschy - only the people feel it sometimes kitschy. Maybe we are kitschy, not the Nature. Anyway - what do you mean by this: "...too much like a stock photo..."? Is it stock photography worse kind of photography? I don`t think so. Andreas Babik.

Hello Quan, the upper part of the sky looks dark weil I must used a graduated ND filter. The sky (near horizont) would be too bright (white) without this filter. It was necessary. A.B.

gorgeous!

 

ofer - do you ever post worthwhile comments or do you just post to solicit visitors to your site?

Perhaps this photo is not the most 'original' photo but I don't think that should detract from it. Its a lovely shot and I think many of us would very much enjoy having a photo like this in our collection.

 

I think making truly original photos is easier said than done, especially if you've seen a lot of photos already. However, just because its been done doesn't mean it can'be be done better or by you.

I like the photo, although colors are a bit to un-natural for me. But, it is still a very nice photo. I like the composition.

Im sorry , but i thought it was made on computer at first . Its very nice though

good work

this is incredible. as all of Andreas work

The picture looks like it has been faked in a way. It does not look natural, eventhough it might be.

The filter manipulation in this picture has been well executed and suits the subject perfectly. It certainly beats sticking a red ball in the foreground.

I have to say I absolutely hate it. I find it quite painful to look at. Sorry!

this is absolutly amazing. the colors are so vivid and beautiful. wow.

Color of sky conflicts with flowers. The composition is nice and it is technically fine but the impact is only that the sky is unnaturally orange. Without the sky color no center of interest exists.

This looks as if was somewhere out in space, some other planet! An acidtrip into yourself might be another explanition. Like this one very much!

I like the composition and the use of filters on this one, the photo seems unreal but yet, nice to observe

Have enjoyed your folder, technique and individual style .. great colours!!

Nice job - hard to believe it's a straight shot with camera/film/etc instead of computer rework - there's lots of excellent photography on photo.net and this still stands out - unique.
