My intention in this image was to portray a a coral atoll that feels

remote, surreal and timeless. The rock has a sculptured prehistoric

presence almost like a fossil or an ancient monument. It is purposely

spare and without reference to size. Do you guys think this rock in

inherently interesting enough to make the overall concept work? JPG

compression is adding noise that is not nearly as evident in the full size

version. Thanks for any input you may have on this one!

What a work you do ... I just take a look on your portfolio, and I'm really impressed. The choice of the subject, the travel, the waiting for the right moment, all of these things must be for you a long work, then the catch and the postprocess must be also new long and hard steps. Then the result, amazing.

 

What a knowledge you must have in photography.

 

And what an eye.

It works for me, Mike. I think that it would benefit from a crop from the bottom of the frame. IMHO, there is too much distraction from the main story.

I think the rock is interesting enough to carry the image, but it's really the light that makes it work for me.

Michael, this is one of the best in your gallery...your intention is understood even without reading your description. I love the colors....placement of the rock...beautiful sky..etc... noise is visible but that is a minor issue... regards, Rajeev ........7/7!!

Seriously understood, the moment I saw it, I pictured a fish walking out of the ocean. The tones and lighting in this are absolutely perfect man. Hope you're doing well.

An original piece. cheers Jana (only a tiny remark - the horizont is not very horizontal, but may be it was the God's will )

I am really torn on this one. The image is technically well done and yet it feels empty to me. Well yes, three elements, land, sea, sky. The foreground is empty or too large a percentage of image. The horizon... I think for me the center image with no mystery, no missing pieces, no item that runs off the edge reduces the interest level for me and my eye leaves the shot sooner then I would think. But man, I am practicing this effect and you are a master, best regards.

Your intention was the photo to create a sense of remoteness, surrealism and timelessness. By looking at it - and I did look at it several times, I get the feeling of this being remote, surreal and timeless. Nothing else is needed to characterise this as a great piece of work. Re foreground, I do like the plenty of empty space - underlines the 'middle of nowhere' out-of-this-space dimension. Regards, Nassos

It seems to be an abstraction.

I really love the tropical water colors contrasting with the pink sky.

 

I just regret that the horizon leans a little toward the right
