A Sight On The Bridge

Thanks

The soft light, the morning calm and the embrace conspire to stop time and offer up a touch of the universe in harmony.

I like the shot and the scene. The solitary figures on the peir looking out over the haze.

Lovely moment!...Ciaomau!

very good shot...congrats

Love is everywhere. We just have to look at for its traces.

having some rest and contemplate the see and mist...everybody needs that from time to time...and more often than we think....peaceful mood...

Did I see this place already less zoomed? This one is telling about the - interesting - human tendency to fortify relationships in impressing situations ...

You have captured a tender moment in human relationship, without intruding into their privacy,Pnina. Very good composition and colours.

A quiet shot. No intense drama here, just connection. This is certainly a welcome sight.

To all of you, it is a romantic scene in an unusal point. i hoped that they will not loss control. and .....;-))

Lovely image Pnina! "Together we can get through all the calms and storms in

life!!!!"

A great view, with a nice composition and a wonderful theme, I'm particularly fond of the way the sea almost merges with the sky, as both people are merging in that embrace. Cheers

Lovely how the couple provide the only hint of color and rounded forms in this beautifully geometric picture. A wonderful moment, Pnina.

Nice moment captured. Well done. Regards

I respond to the stillness, and the muted colors are well handled, especially how the sky works against the water. It's interesting how a cloudless and mistless sky can still evoke such atmosphere, partly due to the soft, painterly reflections in the foreground and partly due, I think, to the composition, the iconic way in which the pier juts out into the water.

 

A couple of considerations. The couple seem somewhere in-between being subjects and getting lost. Their clothing, her hat especially, draws attention yet their faces are obscured by lack of clarity and distance. Their positioning is so exactly behind the one piling.

 

On the technical side, to the left of that same piling, the quality of the pier itself changes, as if you brought that back 2/3 out of shadows, so there is less distinction and a fuzzier quality at the back and underside of the pier.

a very tender moment. i love the hint of sunlight on the water. warmth coming into a cold day.

Alison, thanks for stopping by and commenting

 

Juan, thanks for the double merging.... ;-)) human with nature. It was a very nice point if doing it...

 

Jack, you have well depicted the two forms that attracted my eyes....

 

Emma ,thank you too for your feedback

 

Fred, you have very well analyzed the points that I was aware of. The pier was really far away from my camera/lens point.What was significant for me was the hug ,that was enhanced because of their clothes colors, especially hers with the blue hat, even though not their faces. I liked also the sky and water touch, and the light

 

The pier geometry and details, because of the distance were not very prominent, and I have enhanced them a bit in PS. What I liked in this one is more the atmosphere of the scene despite the lack of many details. Thanks for your well expressed thoughts.

 

 

Linda, thanks for your impressions, I appreciate it.

Hmm, a private tender moment that is well caught & composed. The space on the left seems to give them plenty of privacy, but still cannot escape your camera :-)

... another reason that the shot is slightly soft is that Pnina was on my boat, moving slowly and gently, but moving nonetheless. And while I was with her at the moment in West Falmouth harbor, I never saw this view that she captured so wonderfully. But that is why she is Pnina ...

By way of clarification, I have no problem with the softness. As a matter of fact, I tend to like photos softer than the average viewer. I find most photos posted to be oversharpened, which is not how my eyes generally see the world. My concern was more about the post processing of the pier and the lack of either being drawn to the couple as more of a subject or having the couple blend in more extremely with their surroundings.

Dennis, thanks for your clarification, this was really photographed on ,and from your boat and quite far even for my lens. ( but wow, what a trip it was !! and Cape Cod in general!)

 

 

Fred, most digital photos has to be sharpened at the end of post processing, I do it only ones, if it needs more than ones it is not good. When the difference is so strong as the black pier vs. bright BG, even sharpened once is seen a bit. I think that what was the trigger for me was the couple on the pier, and even though it is a bit soft and the lower pier not having a strong form, I still liked the result , even though your analyzing was to the point. ;-))
