Sinking Sand

This is another one of the Artist Antony Gormleys "Iron Men" fascinating

and eerie cast Iron figures that are found on Crosby Shore, Liverpool.

This one has the appearance of being deep in the water on this 15 sec

exposure, when in fact it has sunk into the sand.

Your Comments are really appreciated.

Thank you

I was without a clue before reading your explanation.

I still find the image enigmatic even after reading it!

This image shows me once again that long exposures can result in beautiful images in experienced hands.

Here; a static, "humanoid" subject residing within an ever changing, ever moving environment has been nicely put into context by your approach.

Thank you, for your kind words Bulent, you seem to share my fascination with these cast iron figures, and you summarise your thoughts on the subject so well, Thank you

Kind Regards

What a visually stunning image.  The warm colors from the sky against that strong sihloueete and the sheen off of the sand are excellent.  This is an example of where great photography overcome technical rules. The frame is split in half by the horizon but this does next to nothing to detract from the photo. I have always felt that a photograph is greater than the sum of its parts and this is a fine example. If this is a 4.10 than I am a monkey's uncle. Wonderful image.

This was one of my first shoots with  my D90 a great little camera. I had just started  shooting in RAW at the time, and didn't really understand much about Lightrom or photoshop. So all the editing was done on a free bit of software from google called "Picasa" I remember being quite excited at the results, but this didn't seem a popular posting. The 50/50 split wasn't something I was conciously aware of either, but now you mention it, yeah I see exactly what you mean, easily fixed I suppose. As for the ratings I have long since given up putting my images up for ratiings. I just can't see the sense in judgement by numbers, and a system that allows persistant low ratings without explanation. Thanks for taking a new look at this one Joe, it was probably destined for the recycle bin at some stage in the near future when I have a clear out, but your words have made me pause and think again.
