FREEDOM dreamscape

This photo is a sort of time-lapse photography. When i arrived the scene,

i took some multishots handheld with high ISO rating and open aperture

to freeze bird action, and after that mounted and set the tripod for the

bridge with low iso and closed diaph to gain max dof. Birds from the best

sample of the first shots then placed on the final balanced photo of the

second bracketed three shots and made "negative " the bird part after

B/W conversion to impart white appearance to the birds, All elements of

this conceptual work are original from the same scene. Any thoughts

and suggestions are more than welcome!

Wonderful work Hamid. I love the light on the bridge and the way it leads you into the image. The birds are perfectly placed just above. The gray tones are exceptional IMHO. Beautiful.

BR,

Superb , wonderful light and B/W tons , beautiful composition , great work.

Great concept and execution. I think the processing is inventive and retains enough natural ingredients to be plausible, whilst creating an element of the surreal with the birds. My only suggestion, well more of an idea perhaps for next time, would be to get the camera as low to the ground as possible, this would then give the illusion that the bridge was rising into the sky and the handrails would be more distinct against the sky. Thats nto to take away anything from what you have created here, it was an ingenious idea to start with. Well done Hamid!

I greatly appreciate your kind words, nice suggestions and continuous support, dear friends.

 Alf: Actually a very good suggestion. I did some sort of shots at that moment ( i took near 150 shots there with different compositions and characteristics, some with framings near your suggestion ), and i found after that a more mood and "surreality" in them with prominent bridge and sky, somewhat isolated and lonely. Thak you so much for your time and very beneficial suggestions.

My best wishes,

Hamid.

The mood set through your composition is strong and quite moving...Well done, Hamid! Kind regards.

Really beautiful work with impressive lighting, Hamid!

With best regards,

A hard road to redemption. Concrete, steel, white doves, a dramatic sky, a bridge across the water. All these elements form a great shot with an interesting story

Congratulations.

My best regards. Cosmin

As I think that an apprentice as I am, may do an observation to the master as you are, and since you always show a great open mind about this fact, then I would suggest to slow down a bit the bird's exposition, in order to make them look more real among this quite beautiful moody scene!...As always a great and beautiful landscape photo, Hamid!

Best and warm regards!

So much thanks and gratitude for your nice words, much appreciatetd.

Jesus: You are completely right. I understand what your pointing out and this is a real flaw here. Some day i should rework on it and correct it. Thank you for your nice suggestion. 

My best regards.

Skillful editing and an eye for composition has offered us a very artistic image, one that makes me want to 'step onto' this bridge and experience the 'freedom' that this image conveys. Lovely work with 'light' and imagination Hamid!

My kindest regards,

Gail

Thank you dear Gail for your continued support, encouraging words and compliments. Much appreciated.

My best regards,

Hamid.
