Rain of Light

Well, you'll just have to imagine it with a big, dark border, frame

and nice dim lighting. I HATE this ugly bright white background here.

Well, I like..it anyhow.;)..not much to change...can imagine your idea..-this is still very dramatic angle and fine tones... Good work ! br Hannu

I know what your talking about Marc. I just tried to post a flower image the other day that was really bright, and the background that they use for photo.net just drained the color from the image. They should let you select what color the background is when you upload your image. I doubt it is that hard to change.

Anyways still a great image. The dark shrub on light foreground equals out the dark sky, with a light patch. Kind of a yin & yang. Also the shape of the light sky in an abstract way resembles the shape of the shrub.

Great work!

nice image, I really like the abstract background and composition. I see what Lally was talking about , but I kind of think it resembles the upper half of a persons face.

a very interesting image.

Great image, i like a composition, but the sky is fantastic ;]

that you may want to add a border here.  It looks like you possess the Photo Shop skills to do it, but email me if you need any help.

Otherwise, it is a very nice image.

Yes, seven would suit well!

Warm regards Marc!

Excellent work! (6)

I was feeling distracted by the structure of this composition, being as it is so close to an even split and the two halves seem like they could be unrelated to each other.

However, Kevin Stanley's comment breathed new life into my viewing of this image - now I am almost mesmerized by the appearance that the BG forms an anthropomorphic visage.

Goes to show the value of a fresh perspective!

Your desert B&W's have always been an inspiration and I think this might be one of your best. I love the luminous look of the playa.

Very dramatic, stark scene very well captured in BW.  Nice job.

Strong tones and composition

Very strong picture.

Excellent work!

Great composition. Simple, yet complex.

excellent

Dramatic contrast between subject and background.
