Jack McRitchie 150 Posted October 4, 2014 Bizarre. Wonderful. This is just the type of picture that rivets my attention. The startling contrasts in texture and the unusual division of the picture plane gives this the feeling of a particularly powerful and enveloping dream, seemingly symbolic and just a little frightening. I'm not sure if it's a collage or exactly how you got this shot but the effect gives me a jolt. Link to comment
AmyHelmick 0 Posted October 5, 2014 Wouter, this one really is outstanding. My first impression was that of sheet aluminum curling back (like from the old style sardine cans), but then the triangles are not properly aligned for that image to ring true. I keep looking and looking. I don't know why it is so appealing, but it certainly is. Obviously, very well framed.And, of course I agree with everything that Jack already said so much more eloquently.Amy Link to comment
wolfgangarnold 142 Posted October 5, 2014 many thanks for your continuous support :-)In fact, this is no collage: the foreground is the top of a small wall on a dam. I just selected the frame so that only the shapes of reflections and drying water were caught. Lifting "secrets" of a photo always comes with the risk that some of magic gets lost - yet for you I'm happy to take that risk: here's a photo from the same location that reveals more context.Cheers, Wolfgang Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted October 5, 2014 Your second picture, though not as mysterious, is also an exceptional photograph. You have a wonderful alertness to the possibilities of time and place. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted October 7, 2014 At first, it does seem like a collage, but the realization that it's a tiled wall is a nice kind of awakening as I looked at it more. It makes me feel like a child looking over the wall. The delicacy of the light in the reflection contrasts nicely with the hardness of the wall itself and the triangular shapes mirroring each other are very effective. This, to me, shows a strength of vision and a commitment to that vision. It has a distinctiveness and allows me to get lost in more than what's before the eye. Link to comment
gulfbeach47 0 Posted August 14, 2015 Wolfgang, I love photos that make me stop for a second to figure out what it is. You passed with flying colors. Correction.... you passed with black and whites:) Link to comment
Timo Hartikainen 548 Posted August 18, 2015 Good stuff...I thought it's three photos combined when I saw the thumbnail photo, but it seems to be a photograph taken by a very talented photographer. Link to comment
