Ai Pietri Plateau

I find that little straight section of cliff seen through the tree in the middle odd and distracting. Perhap if the viewpoint was a little more to right, it would emphasis the slanting of both trees. Even the clouds sort of have the same angle. Very nice.

Very surreal looking. I like it.

Beautiful!

Great Shot. I agree, Surreal look, Which I Like!!

Splendid shot!

I disagree with Jeff's comment - the straight patch of land works there aesthetically because it also parallels lines at the bottom edge of the clouds, and it ties into a lighter line running all the way across the frame. I think that it is the very number of lines, planes and levels which lends such a surreal feeling to this photo, and that it would be worse off if any of them were removed.

Great work!

I am commenting on this picture along with the rest of your portfolio. Your work is a pleasure to look at and I very much enjoy the colour that your pictures bring out. Are they manupulated in photoshop, or do you use a lens filter.

Thanks for your comment and support.

Most of my postings are just lightly edited in Photoshop, merely levels, a bit of colour modification, cropping, burn and dodge on the b&w ones.

The IR ones are the exception as they require a lot of postproduction.

This picture was actually taken on Fuji Velvia, and I eventually achieved the colours by superposing the original version with a "pseudo-IR" version of the image (done following methods described extensively in photo magazines). Easily said, but a few hours on the computer to acheve it.
