Dance of light

Praise the Lord from the heavens;

Praise Him, from the heights!...

Praise Him, you heavens of heavens,

And you waters above the heavens!...

For he commanded and they were created.

He also established them forever and ever;...

 

And Eirik Holm took the picture

 

Congrats!

And george bush is His friend!

Alex... it depends what name you call Him!...

:o))

anyway a powerful element is caught in this image, whom ever you believe is behind or not....

This image impacts the mind. It truely shows the broad spectrum which light

can portray. The gradients and composition are equally pleasing and

perportional. Was this image origionally color? I have recently come to utilize

the calculations and channels in Photoshop and thought that mabey this

image was made through that process. Great work! Adam Paine

very nice, i love it

It's always interesting to me how some get lost in small flaws instead of

appreciating an image. The beauty of nature is in the imperfections and

contrasts that create the drama. Excellent image!

Has silver halide ever painted a better landscape? I doubt it!

 

I look at a lot of prints and respect many of them, but rarely do I have my breath quite so taken away as I did with this image!

By no means am I an expert, and I have personally learned so much from this website and all of you who have submitted photos for review and from those who have shared input. I have yet to submit a photo for critique nor have I ever commented prior to this photo. This photo reminds me of one of Thomas Kincaid's paintings, a beautiful painting, except Thomas had painted in a rainbow that is at an obtuse angle from the viewer and the sun, something naturally impossible (When the sun is to your back a rainbow will be directly to your front).

 

In this photo the ray to the left is at a different angle than the rays to the right, which is naturally impossible considering the height of the light source, the sun. This was the first thing that stood out at me. Take the left ray out of the picture, or at least angle it with the other rays, and this is a very beautiful photo.

Very nice but I wish it was in color.

As I take a second look at this photo, I now see that the distant middle ray and the right ray are not parallel to each other either, which makes me believe all the rays are created in PS. I have no problem with manipulation of photos, as I do it quite often, but let's be honest about it.

There is no manipulation involved here. The rays are all natural, they're not even enhanced during scanning or post processing.

The angle of the rays would depend on the shape and pathway of gaps in the cloud and such an effect is quite possible, in fact normal. The reason for the effect here is that all of the crepusulars are not making it right through the cloud. This enhances the effect.

The angles of the rays point to the position of the sun on the sky, and it's quite easy to see that all the rays go through one point, which is as it should be. The sun shines from quite a low angle for the most part of the day and year in Norway.

I bought this pic (about 10" x 16") for a fair sum and it is FABULOUS !!!
