Beautiful picture and great composition.

Very cool..

Wonderful! I liked the color version a lot. I like this even better. In b&w it seems to cut deeper toward some universal myth and longing. Regards...

The same as the color version! Ciao! Glauco

Astonishing. It seems to have been taken from 1001 Nights. Very beautiful.

Amazing Mujahid bai,every elememnt in this image is perfect and above all are lines.Regards and EID MUBAREK TO YOU , YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

Simply beautiful.

Superb silhoutte...

I have never seen camels walking in fields... It is far from real and far from surreal, IMO, cheers Jana

Yes, kind of out of context, so more surreal i guess. But it's still an interesting picture to look at Mujahid!

Lines are awesome, lead your eye right to where you want it! Composition is awesome, everything wonderful! B & W really works nicely here, very nice choice. Just a really, really cool photo!

A perfectly produced picture from a wonderfull photographer... leading lines towards the main subject... and the shadow... which is blend in the lines.. make it very Strong picture... a high quality pictorial art work... 7/7

I am completely blown off by the number of enthusiastic comments this picture has received. Sincerely, my intention is not to appear arrogant, neither I want to demolish a very good photographer, as good as many other pictures in his gallery show. However, I think this is one of the most overrated picture I've ever seen.

I rated this 3/4 but, contrarily to what normally happens on this web site, I'm going to explain why:

 

1- perspective: the field is obviously part of a wide angle photograph, while the sun is obviously as well looking as it would appear on a telelens picture.

 

2 - light: the sun is a huge white circle, but the sky is as dark as it could never be. We can see the shadows of the two figure very clearly, but there's no coherence at all with the shadows on the field. Actually the field shows shadows as they would appear with the sun at the zenith, at 12 o'clock.

 

3 - composition: the field seems to go beyond the sun, so that the sun seems as it was leaning on the field!

 

4 - elements: the sun is the worst part of this picture. A simple, huge, flat, white circle. It looks like a white hole; The two people and the camel are too much big to be coherent with the field grass dimension and perspective, and they look as they are hovering a feet over the field.

 

In conclusion, I think that this picture is too much obviously fake, at a level that no other words but "fake" came to my mind to describe it.

"Fake", or better, counterfeited pictures are part of the imaging world, and some digitally altered images I saw here and elsewhere are among my best loved photograph. But I think that a digitally altered works fine when its fake nature is not obvious at all. Surely not that case here.

 

Any reply to this comment from Mujahid and all members is highly appreciated, I'm sincerely interested in knowing what all of you think about it.

All I can say is that I wish my 50mm lense zoomed that far in on the sun, lol. I don't care that it is altered, layered with 2 or more images, if it works, it works.

To be honest I didint even think this thing is real 100% and then just adjusted...So Paolo, if you want to call it fake, then let it be. And at first I thought it was supposed to be full moon, didint even think of it being a sun. Yeah, it does look a bit..unreal:P Sometimes moon gets to be so bright with sun rays comming on. As for the shadows, do you seriously think, that where camels live the sun can go that low at 12 o clock??? I dont really think so. Maybe you're correct about the feet....seems pretty enigmatic, also the horizon line seems a bit inaccurate with the sun. Oh yeah, you mentioned smth similar in the 3rd point. All in all, despite of its techinical disadvantages, I think it deserves some good notes for creativity.

Anna, I totally agree about creativity, it's indeed a good idea. But the execution... well, this needs a full remake, IMO.

 

Regards,

Paolo
