kjell_o._heggestad 0 Posted June 19, 2001 I welcome comments on this picture which I made on my way to work early one morning, having spotted the two carpenters from my kitchen window. Link to comment
emeseg 0 Posted June 19, 2001 Very nicely done. It's rare to find a picture that is so perfectly composed but also captures a moment. Link to comment
kyorston 0 Posted June 20, 2001 The kind of photo that only comes along once in a very long while. I really love it. Well done. Link to comment
lou_ashmore 0 Posted June 20, 2001 This is one of the most compelling, intriguing images I have ever seen. Tremendous! Link to comment
jim hathaway 0 Posted June 22, 2001 I absolutely love this photo. It makes me wonder who these people are, what they are doing. Very interesting and beautiful. Link to comment
jaywett 0 Posted June 23, 2001 I would have cropped the top and the right side a little more, but who am I to quibble! This is a great image. Very well done. I hope to have a moment like this behind the lens someday. Link to comment
legaleus 0 Posted June 25, 2001 I love the composition, simple. The exposure is right on! Great shot. Link to comment
Stock-Photos 1 Posted June 25, 2001 The snow, dusted on the roof tops, puts the icing on the cake. The light and the workers are the candles. Link to comment
kyle_martens 0 Posted June 25, 2001 I love it, and I am not just talking about the picture. Finally the elves are paying tribute to creativity! As I already said last week Kjell ; GOOD EYE !!! and now I can say congrats on POW and well deserved. One big pat on the back from me. I could give you my best attempt at an analysis of this picture but I think this is simply one of those you love it or you hate it kinds of pictures. Be prepared for some harsh comments. I just hope that as many people who like it take the time to comment as those who dont. I also love all the light reflections you captured in your "Harbour scene - reflections of golden light" image. Just awesome! Link to comment
rich815 0 Posted June 25, 2001 The color is fantastic, as is the sharpness. Original? Way more original than 98% of what I see on this site. Congrats on POW. Link to comment
mattjylha 0 Posted June 25, 2001 Great photo, it took me a while to look around the shot to see what was going on, very nice, I'm glad I had a chance to see it! Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted June 25, 2001 The elves should have saved that "painting with light" remark for such an exemplary image as this one. Not only are the light and color beautiful, but the subject is truly unique. The real greatness, though, is the timelessness. This is the closest we will ever get to seeing a photograph of Cro-Magnons squatting around a pre-dawn campfire, repairing and preparing their weapons for a daybreak hunting expedition.

windsor 0 Posted June 25, 2001 This is a great picture, well balanced and interesting. But the fact that it was taken before dawn on a winter's day in Norway makes me wonder: Are you insane? Regardless, congrats. Link to comment
terrence_kent 0 Posted June 25, 2001 Incredible. If there's a good example of originality, this is it. (awestruck)* Link to comment
cow 0 Posted June 25, 2001 So pleasing, I would really love to hang this up at a place where I can just stare and be immersed in it after a hard day at the office. Link to comment
roberto_calvi_o 0 Posted June 25, 2001 But a question: The deep blue in yours shots is a filter or photoshop effects. Link to comment
hoyin_lee1 0 Posted June 25, 2001 A truly beautiful photograph; one of the very few that moves me. My congratulations! Link to comment
kjell_o._heggestad 0 Posted June 25, 2001 Hi Roberto - the blue colour in this picture is a result of the pre-dawn "blue hour" and using saturated Velvia film. Also, the warm colours of the lit part of the scene makes the surroundings look bluer. It is hard to get the on-screen colours 100% similar to the original slide but that was basically what I tried to do. So this isn't a Photoshop effect picture, and I didn't use any filters on the lens. The light was weak and I used around 1/8 second exposure, on a tripod of course. Link to comment
