Social Transitions

The foreground is Laguna de Bay with high waters after a storm. The two shanties are

fishermen houses. The background is the city skyline on a hazy morning a little after

sunrise taken with a 300mm lens. Thanks for your thoughts.

Excellently captured splendid contrasts of different life's makes your photo an attractive one. Frighten differences between front and back while your perfect timing adding smoky layer between them. Of course green and reflected golden lights at foreground are just wonderful. Congratulations.

Saludos, Exelente contraste social obtenido. Una exelente imagen, felicidades

It is a truly beautiful image! Very well done. Best regards.

This is so amazingly beautiful. A very fine composition and capture and with a very good title. The old countryside with the people living of mother earth and the big city in the background in a haze of smog and fumes. Very creative, very artistic. Well done my friend. Take good care and all the best from Jannica

Seems to tilt down to the left. Nice contrast of urban and rural life. GJ

very good light...congrats

Hola Lester.

Muy buena toma con un titulo muy apropiado.

 

Saludos

I can also identify myself with the underlying story of the picture.we are also facing a voracious urbanization that is called development.really thought provoking. REGARDS.

terrific shot. the sharpness of the lowlands and the little houses give them a reality, where the city in the background seems ephemeral and not real, perhaps the feeling of the people in the houses.

Beautifully captured contrast Lester. Deserves 7/7. All my best-Jim

Congratulations, dear Lester. Best Regards.

This shot is all about the comparison between the different styles of life...the lighting is splendid....Regards

Buen pinto de vista para un perfecto contraste, acertado el titulo. Saludos

Regards! CL

Fantastic scene... There is so much amazing things to look at in this shot.... The background houses against these simple once is fantastic.... Really good work...

 

All my best, Jill

Excellent image. very good presentation. It's like an impressionistic painting. Great job.

 

Regards.

Great shot !! nice work Beautiful colors and light ..........................regards

good contrast in lifestyles. The sunlight on the highrise buildings serves to support the differences between the have and have nots. Good storytelling - this really should be photojournalism.

I really like this image. Wonderful contrast between foreground and background subjects and nicely lit.

Photografic surrealism. Most interesting picture. Very well done.

Very effective composition Lester. I really like this as a documentary style of art. My only obvious observation is the tilt to the left as mentioned by an earlier post. Straighten the horizon and it is a 7/7! It is fantastic!

Very interesting and well done Lester.

Wonderful, poignant and evocative image. Since the skyscrapers look relatively straight, I'm thinking the image is actually straight. It appears to me that the uneven horizon is actually just the far bank which angles, thus appearing uneven. It does disturb a little, but certainly doesn't overshadow this wonderful image.

Thanks to everybody for all your comments!

 

Christal, thanks for your observation.
