very interesting work! very!

An interesting and beautiful work.

I'm not sure if it's raining in the picture or if it's just the grain, but it works. I love the simplicity of this picture. I really like this.

Very nice work. Would work well as a book cover.

it's seems to be on border of a dream and reality, very symbolic...

i like the tones range

wooow, this is a real SHOT!

The contrast between human and nature dimension.

Great Dariusz. Simply great

Interesting very Klimt-like piece. I really like it.

Beautiful work.

i like everything about this: subjects, comp, tones and what it evokes inside of me. {soft admiring sigh}...outstanding

Brilliant. Excellent.

Oh... again I see a parallel with one of my pics -- I mean our perception of the world must be rather similar, only your work is more masterfully done and is b/w :)) . Great picture!

This image has been selected for discussion. It is not necessarily the "best" picture the Elves have seen this week, nor is it a contest. It is simply an image that the Elves found interesting and worthy of discussion. Discussion of photo.net policy, including the choice of Photograph of the Week should not take place here, but in the Site Feedback forum.

Before writing a contribution to this thread, please consider our reason for having this forum. We have this forum because future visitors might be interested in learning more about the pictures. They browsed the gallery, found a few striking images and want to know things like why is it a good picture, why does it work? Or, indeed, why doesn't it work, or how could it be improved?

So, when contributing to this thread, please keep the above in mind. Address the strengths, the shortcomings of the image. It's not good enough to like it, you should spend some time trying to put into words why that is the case. Equally so if you don't like it, or if you can't quite make up your mind.

Let's make sure this forum is a wonderful learning resource for future photographers!

Thank you and enjoy!

Let me dare being among the first to comment on this.

 

The Black Box series of Dariusz is one of my favourites on PN and this photo is certainly one of the best. Dariusz succeeds in transmitting in these photos an extreme poetic and nostalgic mood without falling in the trap of banality. Nothing is real in this photo apart from the tree and the lady, no fruits will ever fall from the tree and the lady might never have been there. Pure art and technical skills. Bravo to Dariusz for this weeks POW.

Congrats, Dariusz! Much deserved.

 

This is a great image, but it's the series that really shines. I think "Feel the Wind" and "Welcome" are even stronger, although this one is a bit more painterly, almost like an old tintype. I'd love to hear about some of the techniques used to get this effect.

The streaking in the image doesn't look so much like grain, as it reminds me of emulsion on glass techniques. It really contributes to a "painterly" quality. I wonder how it was done. I'm impressed at how this series that Dariusz created consists of such straightforward, uncomplicated objects, but are still so interesting. They seem to leave room for the imagination.

After reviewing your other images I see that you have mastered a unique style in your work. Most of the pictures are composed of a central object, usually a tree, an open field and a single lone person. Frequently you include a bird, a flock of birds or some other flying object. Often there is a road, trail, boardwalk or streak of light. Very simple and uncomplicated subject matter but real attention getters. They are very "Edgar Allan Poeish" very dark and dreary, lonely, morose, often misty and unusually strange. Pictures in disguise comes to mind. Along with several others, I would like to hear how you achieve these melancholy scenes.

 

Even though I fancy myself as a cropper of images, I would not even consider changing any of these in that way. I have one element in this picture of the week, which does bother me and that is the size of the figure looking at the tree. She seems too small by maybe 10 or 15 percent. None of your others gives me that feeling.

 

I really enjoyed looking at your work. Congratulations for being the selected one this week.

The dimensions of the tree vs. the figure brings it the the legendary imaginative realm, which I find it also in the other box images. The BG, has a richness of nuances without overpowering the composition. Interesting is the white decoration on the tree that takes it farthere away from reality. Has the extra artistic touch. congratulations Dariusz.
