Basic Marine Geometry

An old photo in a new frame: I've been playing with a new plug-in

lately. Does it work?

Thanks for stopping by.

It is what it says it is basic marine geomety, but what a simply beautiful piece of geometry. A shot that works so well in B & W. The position of the people and the patterns make this a really successful shot. Best wishes William

Excellent photo. Besides the very interesting composition I love the b/w tones that you have been chosen for this one.

My best regards to you

William and Cosmin: thank you both for your appreciation.

I must admit that this photo didn't look impressive enough for my taste when I took the shot about ten years ago. Canon G1 was my first digital camera, I had little or no experience with post processing photos on a computer and, honestly, I forgot about this photo until few months ago when I was looking for some pictures to illustrate my photography blog. This was the moment when I realized that the image converted to B/W and cropped properly may have some potential. Playing with a frame generator from Filter Forge Freepack (yeah, I'm cheap) I came up with this presentation.

I read with great interest the history of this photo, and it makes me pause and wonder at the amount of images that over the years that I thought had something but couldn't seem to get right and consequently deleted.

I really like this, it's one of those images that look symmetrical at first glance, and then you notice the small differences, I'm not a great advocate of frames, but I have to concede that cheap or not, this one delivers. I don't have many favourites in my little collection, as I tend to like images that I can revisit over and over again and find something new as well as the initial aesthetic attraction, this one is going to join them.

Sincere Compliments

Thank you, Alf.

Coming from you it is a real encouragement and a nice compliment.

I'm sure we all have undiscovered treasures on our hard drives :-)
