The fish way

Wow, almost phantom-like.

To me, this is a masterpiece! A 7/7 without doubt and well deserved. Really an outstanding image. Congratulations!

For Armindo: Merci, j'avais des doutes sur cette photo.... Ton avis est d'une grande aide !

Wonderful look Joe. I like your technique here.

Has a real old time look. Well done.

7/7

I like the ethereal quality of the image. Nice work.

This is a wonderful photo. For me also it is a 7/7. Congratulation for this exceptional shot.

Very old-time look to this image. Nice work!

Absolument superbe. La photo donne definitivement l'impression d'une ancienne epoque parcontre ce que je trouve particulierement genial c'est que le fond flou me fait presque croire qu'ils sont pris a l'interieur d'un couloir de temps et d'espace. (Time travel?)

Margret already said all!

Very suggestive image. I love this colour!

I agree with Margaret , Robert , Armindo ....... congrats !!

La couleur en monochrome gris donne a cette image une magie et un "impact" émotionel très forts. L'ecadrement carré est parfait. La seule chose que je ne trouve pas correcte est le titre de la photo qui ne me fait pas penser a une course mais plutot a un voyage, un dèplacement rapide .... mais c'est subjéctif ....

Bye. Fab.

OK, Fab, i change the title. The fish way (la route du poisson) is a race from boulogne sur mer to paris (300 km, ), in memory to the time where the fish was transported with horses (before railway)

Simply perfect, Joel....

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L !

I agree with everyone 7/7

Simply magnificant.

Great. Usually I am not too enthusiastic of manipulated images, but surely this works. Only, I am curious of seeing the original image both in color and in B&W - surely it is beautiful as well. I think this is one of the best horse photos ever posted in PN, together with the much discussed "aggression in action" by Zaher Malik.

This is like a dream. Beautiful.

This is a demonstration of how to break the rules. A fantastic dirty grey photo! Take lessons.

No doubt, a 7/7.

Bravo, et donnes-nous encore plein du genre.

3D, lots of depth to this image!

This is the stuff that makes the 'anti postprocessing gurus' keep very quiet :-))

Thanks for all comments and ratings ! The original shot ? it's not interesting. Another pic of this fish way ? yes, i upload. About manipulated pics : I think that the reality is not always very nice, I think that all is permitted in art, why not in photography ? A painter modify the reality, why not a photograh ?

It's my vision of this race, even it's not reality... But as you say, nobody contest this pic. One more time: thank you !

I don't even mind that you PS'd the snot out of it! I'd favor a bit more contrast but its a winner just as you presented it.

Sometimes you push to far. The mistake here is the people dont match the setting - we know it is a snapshot taken recently. But the software work is okay.
